Not GI Joe related; However, this is my packaging design class final. I finished it this afternoon and I am pretty proud of it.
I had to design an odd shaped package for an action figure that was at least 7" tall. Naturally I picked Green Lantern, which begged for a package in the shape of the symbol. Other guidelines were that it had to have a PVC window that allowed you to see it from at least 3 sides, but it could not be completely PVC. I thought it would be kind of cool to design an entire series of GL based figures for, say the upcoming animated movie, or one based of the comics. All artwork and product photography was done by me, as well as every piece of the packaging itself (except for the round package cap... that I borrowed from my Christmas tree topper). Even the biography on the back is based off of a story I wrote for the DC2 web-site. Here's the results. Last edited by Lantern_Lad; 12-20-2008 at 04:55 AM.. |

wow that is real nice dude! School is so boring sometimes, you know
It catches your eye and makes you want to pick it up and check it out from different angles. The color stands out and I think it would generally grab you eye from a distance. I give it an A+, tell your professor that. Thanks for the pictures. |

Thanks guys...
I think that the only real way I could've made it better was if I had a way to mold a plastic insert to hold the figure in place. |

Thank you sir!
I felt pretty vindicated when I took it into my comic shop and they said: "Where did you pick that up? We haven't seen anything about a Green Lantern Corps figure set!" Made me feel pretty damn good... |

This is excellent. I hope someone at DC Direct is paying attention. Green Lantern has always been one of my very favorite Superheroes. This is a great package. It looks really well done all the way around, and shaping it like the Lantern Symbol is a really nice touch. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
One question: What is this "animated movie" you mentioned?
