Products that I designed and collaborated with manufacturers to produce.

PAPER PRODUCT

Layout of Vocaloid Artbook <Decay>, Published 2016.

Reverse holographic print

Unlike traditional foil printing, where the foil is applied directly onto the artwork, reverse holographic printing presents a unique challenge. In this process, the artwork is printed on holographic cardstock, requiring careful consideration during formatting to determine which parts of the design will feature the holographic effect. While this printing technique has been used in official trading cards for some time, it remains largely inaccessible to individuals. Through extensive research and proactive communication, I successfully connected with manufacturers who specialize in this uncommon printing technique.

3D PRODUCT

I developed an acrylic display collection featuring iconic cities from FFXIV. This collection includes 36 character standees, each designed to be compatible with the mini cities. Enthusiasts of FFXIV can purchase their favorite characters to create scenic setups alongside these city displays.

I designed this display stand inspired by a notable city in FFXIV. In addition to serving as a display stand, it functions as a photocard holder. The design presented some challenges, as precise formatting was essential for the manufacturer. Any slight mismeasurement could cause the two standing pieces at the back to collide, preventing a proper fit. Fortunately, through close collaboration with the manufacturer, we successfully brought my vision to life.
