  • Project Overview
    Designed a limited-edition journal cover for Metroid Dread, created in alignment with Nintendo’s global brand guidelines. The project involved adapting official key art into a high-impact printed format, ensuring the composition, typography, and layout were optimized for both visual clarity and collector appeal.
  • Design Focus
    The challenge was to translate cinematic key art into a clean, striking journal cover - one that respected Nintendo's strict brand standards while delivering a strong fan-forward visual. My focus was on:
    • Balancing official art with editorial hierarchy.
    • Applying typography that complemented the sci-fi tone.
    • Adhering to Nintendo’s asset usage rules, safety zones, and print specifications.
    • Preparing the file for flawless production and print.
  • Final Result.
    The final cover was printed and distributed as part of the Metroid Dread global release campaign.
  • Why It Matters?
    This project reflects my experience designing within licensed guidelines and executing high-fidelity print work for major entertainment IPs - where every detail matters, from kerning to bleed lines.
