3D Box Shot: Case Studies

 

Every once in while we get and really nice design job that sticks in our minds due to the fun we had putting it together. This page contains an occasional series of Case Studies of some of our favourite design jobs.

We were contacted by Galactic Soft, makers of 3D Sci Fi Movie Maker after they were approached by PC Plus Magazine. PC Plus wanted to run a discount feature on 3D Sci Fi Movie Maker and include the full previous version of the product on their cover disc.

Computer magazines editors normally have very busy schedules and a very limited attention span. They contact Galactic Soft on a Thursday and asked for a complete promotional package (including a box shot) to be emailed to them by the end of the week.

Box shots make great visual content for magazines and as a result, design editors are drawn to them. They make layout out a page much easier and bring a vital visual interest to otherwise dull text.  This is why PC Plus insisted on a box shot for 3D Sci Fi Movie Maker.

We were aware that Galactic Soft needed a box shot in a short time frame, so we set to work immediately with the aim of making a box shot that captured the fun spirit of 3D Sci Fi Movie Maker while remaining stylish and professional. Since the image was destined for print, we produce high resolution images in Adobe Photoshop and used these in conjunction with our own product, 3D Box Shot. The space rocket image was purchased from our favourite royalty free stock site, Istockphoto and the sci fi style fonts were nabbed from Dafont.  

The complete box shot was turned around in under an hour. Galactic Soft were so pleased with the results that they asked us to produce a thumbnail version of the box shot for inclusion on there website. They are now basking in the warm glow of a sustained sales bump brought on by the publication of the PC Plus article and bolstered by their sexy new box shot.
