Integer's Big client, MArs Wrigly, was moving offices and asked us to help liven the new office space. The office came with 2 two mail lockers that they wanted decorated with some of their brands, More specifically the M&m's® brand. I volunteered to be lead designer on the project with some additional guidance and support from some of integer's Art directors .
I started by sketching out some ideas of how to utilize the locker space with the M&m's characters we had available. from there I built some ideas based around the more basic guidelines of the M&Ms brand as well as branching out to other off brand creative solutions. Some of my DESIGNS WERE FOCUSED ON THE MAIL THEME, WHILE OTHERS WERE DESIGNED to add a burst of color to the room and highlight the characters.
After reviewing these options with the client, everyone (Client included) was excited to move forward with two options. They enjoyed the casual nature of some of the Mail focused designed, while loving the bold design of the simple but colorful Eyecatching sketches. The Mars client also enjoyed the small story Behind a few of the designs and asked us to roll with the specific one about the packing peanuts.

Peanut Disaster
After the Final Comp review I moved onto the final art For the locker. Client decided to go with the story based design around the "Peanut DisasteR." They enjoyed the "relatable irritation" of packing peanuts getting everywhere. They were impressed on how we Created a story with the current Character poses we had on file, As well as how we integrated them to feel like the characters were somehow interacting with the locker itself. From there I Worked on refining the Assets to fit the bigger Scale of the locker as well as creating Packing peanuts by hand for the final Design.
