Ultraman Steelbook Collection

From research to original art pitch to final product, introducing Ultraman to the USA in Steelbook form has been one of my favorite projects to work on. For the design of both the Steelbooks and the booklet I decided to go light and sleek, keeping the layout simple to contrast from past releases and to be able to use the composition to show the growth and success of Japan’s Greatest Hero in Tsuburaya’s 50 years of production.

Working with Tsuburaya has also been a fascinating lesson in communication and how design translates across international audiences. It’s been really interesting and informative getting to collaborate with an international company, turning out a product that satisfies Japanese audiences and also resonates with Americans.
