Translating the Horizon Zero Dawn experience into merchandise
Maybe a bit of a weird upload, but in my opinion certainly fitting for ArtStation.
As my graduation project (master programme Design for Interaction at the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at the Delft University of Technology) I did a project in collaboration with Guerrilla in which I translated the Horizon Zero Dawn experience into a physical object. Before I started this project I did a six month internship at Guerrilla as a Concept Artist, so in this project I tried to combine both the Industrial Design and the Concept Art elements.
Anyone who's played Horizon Zero Dawn should know that nature is a huge theme in the game, so after a lot of research I came to the conclusion that merchandise with real plants/nature would probably be the best route to take. This lead to three concepts, all based on enclosed self-sufficient ecosystems (plants in a glass jar which are almost fully self-sufficient, only needing water every couple of months).
