For Albi, we created an attractive visual style for the Science & Crafts series based on comic book heroes. They guide children through the world of science and creativity through illustrations on television, on real products, and in stores. The goal was to combine extensive branding and functional communication into one big adventure that children can experience firsthand.

The assignment

  • Create a consistent visual style.
  • Design 50+ designs for boxes, packaging, and manuals.
  • Prepare a clear product catalog.
  • Produce several 2D animated television commercials.
  • Design a trade fair stand and sales displays for branches.

Solution

  • We created a pair of mascots and a comprehensive storytelling concept that accompanies all product communication.
  • We designed a modular visual concept that can be applied to a wide range of diverse products.
  • Each product received an original illustration, a hand-drawn name, and accompanying graphics for the manuals.
  • We designed the product catalog as a comic book story that presents the products in a clear and playful way.
  • We consistently transferred the style to animations, trade fair applications, and retail materials.

Scope

  • 50+ illustrated product packaging and boxes.
  • 250+ cartoon icons and graphic elements.
  • Complete product catalog in comic book style.
  • Application of visual identity for trade fairs, stores, and promotion.
  • 3× 2D animated TV commercial.

PRODUCT CATALOGUE

We designed our product catalog featuring educational game sets as an adventure comic book, where our main characters gradually discover different worlds, crafts, and professions.

PACKAGING DESIGN

We then visually matched the actual product boxes to the catalog and refined the boxes down to the last detail, including well-designed interiors and manuals that are part of the game boxes.

ANIMATED SPOTS

Together with Albi, we also created three comic TV commercials in which our heroes came to life on screen! Join us as we walk you through the entire process—from sketches to colored illustrations to the final commercial…

PROMOTIONAL COMICS

Part of the product marketing was a comic strip in ABC magazine, in which we described the process of creating a comic book catalog. What better way to convey information about the creation of marketing materials to our target audience (children and parents) than through a comic strip?
