We can now finally unveil the Made of Stills Christmas Promo piece. The concept is pretty simple: transforming the Made of Stills boys into toys and offer them as gifts to our collaborators and clients. We targeted people of the industry and key collaborators and sent about 150 pieces all around.
The piece was printed on an 11×14 luster paper that could be folded so each partner of Made of Stills could be on the cover, depending on who the piece was addressed too. We then used our stencils to brand our envelopes and addressed them to our recipients with slick transparent tags.
The whole piece resulted from a collaboration with LeVisualBox, a new post-processing company we recently started to work with. They took our concept and pushed it to the next level, transfiguring us and enhancing slightly our muscular features! They created, retouched and designed the toys and packages using photoshop as well as 3D.
Please go CHECK OUT the MAKING OF!!!
