Visit Pittsburgh Gashapon
A gashapon vending machine to promote tourism to Pittsburgh, where guests can take a short quiz to see what kind of tourist they are, and then receive their assigned mini and a custom itinerary based on their interests. So far in 2024, it is has popped up at Pride in DC and at the Cleveland Jazz Fest- and it can be seen at the Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo, NY in September!
My role was largely supporting the creative team- including designing the character cards for each mini and the spinning miniature photo set. I also helped assemble the 5000 capsules that were to be dispensed and helped place the display capsules in the machine's windows.
Character Card First Draft
Final Character Cards
Unfortunately, I had to head back to school after designing the first draft, but the team followed the initial creative vision for the final cards!
Testing size of character card before we had models of the minis.

Mini Photo Set
I converted a 2D illustration into a 3D model for both sides of the mini photo shoot set.
