MORGAN & MILO SHOEBOX

I worked with the design studio Moth to

create the Morgan & Milo shoeboxes. The

boxes are designed to promote recycling and

encourage the end user to keep the box. They

are covered with puzzles, games, mazes,

riddles, quotes, and fun characters. They

are craft boxes screen-printed with white

and green. While creating the illustrations,

I broke the box down into separate panels

and began drawing and refining to fit in as

many games and fun quotes as I could. The

lettering was done as loose and playful as

possible to be very approachable and fun

for the children who would be interacting

with the boxes.
