What is Alien?
The Alien saga has always been my all-time favorite scifi-horror films. I finally had a project where I could put my Photoshop skills to the test and really push myself as a designer. I felt the pressure of not only making a great package design, but of making a design that brought justice to the franchise.
Design Process
I started by gathering images, colours and fonts inspired by the original film and coming up with a theme and layout I liked. Using an array of characters, scenery and props, I blended the images in a collage giving the viewer an overview of the story without spoiling the plot.
The Disk
For the Disk, I went for a simplistic approach. I chose to use the alien infant not only because of it's iconic nature, but the shape fits well around the disk.
End Result
I feel the collage of images reflects the film and gives a modern feel opposed to the original dated package design.
