One of the first package designs I completed as a student was for Tech Deck. Tech Deck started as a company that made ‘finger/hand skateboards’ and moved into creating bmx bikes for a similar audience. I was never very good at playing with the thing, but had a lot of fun creating the package.
My idea was to create a container that could be played with instead of simply discarded. This package can be used as a full-pipe, or placed on its side and used as a table top, or grinded on around the edge.
I took a piece of 6-inch PVC pipe and some plexi-glass to create the package. Interior highlights include a 360º panorama picture of a cityscape.
