Student Spotlight: Marvelous Mischief Makers

The bad guys in a story are essentially who drive the story and are usually much more complex characters. So, why don't they deserve their own unique event? Lisa Schneller, a graphic design student at Academy of art university, created this charming campaign, Marvelous Mischief Makers. Check it out! 

"I created a convention for villains, titled Marvelous Mischief Makers, which is essentially ComicCon for the bad guys (who are always much more interesting!). In designing this convention, I wanted to create a visual identity that was unexpected. I didn't want to show all of the typical villains people are familiar with; I wanted to allude to the act of being mischievous using simple yet intriguing typography and graphics."

Love, love, love this project! Whimsical and sophisticated...I'd love to know the typefaces used for this piece.

Thank you Joanna! 'Marvelous Mischief Makers' and most of the headers were created by hand. I used Rockwell for everything else.

Awesome concept and execution! I am a student at SCAD and just getting into product design. May I ask what stock of paper did you use to create box? How did you do that especially with making it black and getting print onto it. Very curious about that.

Thanks, Lori! I used Epson Premium Presentation Matte paper and printed directly on it with my Epson printer (their black ink is fabulous). If you use this paper to comp packaging, just be careful because it scuffs up very easily. Hope that helps. Good luck with your studies at SCAD!
