Hades OST Vinyl
The Hades vinyl set consists of four double-sided records, each requiring its unique slip design for both the front and back. Additionally, a main cover is included to hold all the records together. To grab inspiration from Japanese vinyl design, an obi strip is included that wraps around the box.
The limited edition vinyl is designed to stand out with an opposing approach featuring the title character, Hades himself. In contrast, the CD uses a more standard approach by showcasing the game's protagonist, Zagreus, in familiar key art.
Songs of Supergiant Games OST Vinyl
Songs of Supergiant Games 10th Anniversary was recorded at the prestigious Abbey Road Studios, and it serves as a tribute to the studio and its achievements. We aimed to create a lavish look during the production process by incorporating physical elements such as gold foil and embossing on the covers, which can be felt by the audience.
Three versions of the vinyl were produced: standard (red), special (white), and limited (black). Each vinyl includes a booklet with lyrics and artwork for every track.
Hades Physical Release
We worked on creating physical copies of Hades for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X after its launch. Our aim was to provide joy to the players while opening the game, before digital downloads became the norm. Each copy features a metallic foil cover, an inside and outside sleeve, a character art compendium, and a disc.
In collaboration with Nintendo, a special limited run of the physical copy of Hades was distributed. This release was separate from the PlayStation and Xbox versions and set the standard for the game's box design. As part of the special release, a character compendium was included to introduce new players to all the characters they will encounter and interact with in the game.
After a successful launch of our game on the Nintendo Switch, we partnered with Private Division to release it on PlayStation and Xbox. As the case size and budget were bigger, we were able to incorporate metallic foil for the cover and a specialized inside sleeve. I didn't intend for the inside cover to be reversible, but to add another layer so that when the consumer takes the disc out of the box, they would see the icons of the Gods as a teaser of the abilities they will gain in-game.
Hades Switch Controller
We collaborated with PowerA to create a unique Nintendo Switch controller for the game Hades. The controller showcases the game's protagonist, Zagreus, and features a custom pattern of all the Gods in the game. Each symbol is reflective and die-cut, appearing and disappearing based on lighting.
Supergiant Games Merchandise Website
With the growing range of merchandise available, a comprehensive redesign of their online store was necessary. I aimed to showcase their diverse products while providing users with an intuitive and seamless navigation experience, allowing customers to explore and discover everything that Supergiant has to offer.
