The Challenge
I came aboard the team to create a cohesive visual brand language (VBL) leveraging an existing design for Shark Trap. We maintained the fin silhouette and “yin yang” design tied to the brand.
Human Factors
Ideation for the card loading door ensuring seamless usability and DFM. “Hatch Back” was selected for its intuitive design.
Design Inspiration, CMF
Form Exploration, Branding
While maintaining a sense of movement and precision, I explored exterior volumes keeping the distinctive sloped front minimal.
CAD Surfacing, ID Refinement
I kept the visual cues to a minimum emphasizing order and professionalism to anchor confidence within players, dealers.
