Foxconn 8800 GTS

After looking at Foxconn's products, I could tell by the array of different images their products bear, that tell they might be looking for something more uniform. Something constant. And after seeing the retail box of their new DirectX 10 cards, I felt I had to give it a facelift. While shopping, many hardcore users who'll drop $500+ for one of these cards might overlook Foxconn's current design for a card whose appearance relates a bit more to themselves. Something a bit more serious. Something a bit more hardcore.

So this entry is actually a poster, but its sole purpose is to show off the product. With this in mind, I didn't want a bunch of text surrounding it, so I thought simply "More" eluded to the "The Art of More" slogan and offered a little freshness to what could possibly be a new ad campaign.

Anyway, this is my creation. Serious, hardcore, and I feel it totally fits among the more attractive retail boxes for today's graphics cards.

Whow! This box owns. In-store research - check. Analyzing audience - check. Your box is the one to beat!

Thanks man! It was a lot of fun to put together. I've always been and ad guy, but somehow never made my way into the field. An image consultant is what I aspire to be. Analyzing the way different companies present themselves to the public is something I do everyday, right down to the font. So it was a really cool opportunity to take a look at Foxconn and create a fitting product image. I have ideas for their other stuff too, but the 8800 card just called for help!

Heh! Yeah, that original box does call for help! Nice update too. See you got the new Vista logo and additional views. Nice! :)

Wow. I like the concept, I like the art. I actually Googled the real product to see if you had cribbed anything from the actual product box, because your design is so professionally done. As it turns out, your design is leaps and bounds beyond anything Foxconn actually has on their boxes. Great work. My only critique is that the icons in the lower right are a little large and make the front of the box a tad on the "busy" side. Some blank space would be nice. It'd also give us room to admire your cool cg background.
