From sketches to real products

Posted in Drawing & Painting, Product Design on June 30th, 2009 by Mario Troise – 1 Comment

These sketches were all approved and will become real products soon. I still have to confirm some production details, but everything else is done.

It’s always nice to see ideas like these becoming real!

This is the first preview of my latest product concept. I’m having a lot of fun with this high tech project.

I don’t like to leave the blog alone for so long, but my days have been extremely busy. This is my return, and I’ve got 2 images to share. Both of them are part of a new product line I’m creating. It’s easy to discover what was my reference for the first one!

I’ve finished uploading some photos I took in many stores in Belgium, with a special selection of chocolates for a digital gustation. Enjoy!

Thrice quote on new packaging

Posted in Music, Product Design on May 6th, 2009 by Mario Troise – 1 Comment

Sorry for being away for too long, things have been hectic here. I’m working with several projects, preparing the release of a new brand, hiring new designers and studying Joomla and Magento. Gotta find some time to sleep and eat in the middle of that!
In the last weeks I have designed a packaging for a new product from Vulto and I’m extremely satisfied with the result. The product is a new professional yoyo and it’s going to be released in a couple of weeks. After over 7 months working with this project I cannot explain how happy I am to see it coming to life!
Unfortunately I cannot share any images or renders now, but I will let you see a quick preview of the packaging (actually this is just a mockup):

I always include special messages in my packages and this time I used a quote from a Thrice song. This is a killer packaging, I will post more pictures soon!
I’m also working in a series of packages and paper products for another brand. Can’t wait to see all these items reach the production line.

Tintin figures

Posted in Photography, Product Design on April 26th, 2009 by Mario Troise – 2 Comments

For over 80 years Hergé entertained entire generations with the wonderful Tintin comics. His clean and simple drawings even received their own designation: the ligne claire style.

I visited a Tintin shop in Belgium and was amazed by the variety of products and specially by the quality of the figures. Whoever did the sculptures, they’ve managed to recreate the cartoon style in all figures. They look like they came out of the books.

Pantone / SeaVees snickers

To celebrate the founding of Pantone in 1963 SeaVees has produced exactly 1963 pairs with 7 vintage colors from the original Pantone color guide. Talk about retro!

The colors were chosen to ” epitomize the cool, casual style of California in 1963″. They are selling now!
