Welcome to my SudoMod Retail Packaging Project
My goal with this project was originally just an idea as to what it would look like if you were to go out and purchase a SudoMod Gameboy right off the store shelves. The more I worked on the project the more I realized that this could become something really amazing. Perfect for showcasing our custom Gameboys or give them that extra bit of style when giving them as gifts.

Current Progress
  1. Packaging Design.....complete
  2. Print Design.....in progress (Need to finalize top/bottom graphic. Produce more color variations)
  3. Pamphlet and Inserts.....brainstorming the designs
  4. Production run.....undecided (I'm new to this and would have to research what would be required)
  5. Individual build.....to be determined (I plan on designing a version that can be printed/cut out of cardboard and created at home. Hopefully we can get this version looking exactly the same)
  6. Advertisements/Fliers.....brainstorming (Nothing like those good old school Gameboy advertisements. Totally wanna put a new spin on the old style for SudoMod)
Customization
I am freely sharing all my assets on Dropbox for this community as I create them. (If there is something missing lemme know and I probably just forgot to upload it). If you have the software or the experience then feel free to modify or create your own designs. Would love for you all to post them here to show off. If you have recommendations that I can use in the main design then lemme know and if I agree I'll incorporate that as well.

Very cool! If we end up going the hand made route would it be possible to get the .psd/.ae/.whathaveyou files down the line to further customize the boxart? Being an illustrator myself I'd love to make some custom work for my case~

Great work! Looking forward to more!

Actually, just went ahead and threw the illustrator project file up in the dropbox incase anyone wants to play around with their own designs. Feel free to post what you make up in here to show off. Love to see some variations. If you make changes and link me the illustrator file then I can throw them on the model and give you a rendered box to see how it looks.

Wow! Very impressive. I would definitely like to have something custom once I finish my GBZ.

Slight modification to the box art to change the screen surround vector from DMG to Sudo.

Hey man, just re-read your post then clicked the link in your signature to look at some of your work. If you come up with something cool we can totally replace it as the base image on the packaging since I'm just using free stock images right now for the graffiti. Would be *much* better to get a custom design specially made for the project.

I'm thinking some sort of design that has a core color that can be color adjusted to match the gameboy vector color on the front of the box. That way we can have multiple variations of the same box depending on what color they build out their DMG case.

Slowly closing in on a design I like. Messed with the inner tray color and the Gameboy DMG shell color. This is starting to look really clean. Though I definitely gotta sit down and figure out the top/bottom design. That temporary stock image just isn't working too well; especially as I start to do different color sets. Need to pick out a design that can be color adjusted depending on the build color. That or a series of designs that look similar but focus a different color on each.
