Mangafied Product Makeovers

The David Schwen Poke Series is Inspired by the Pokemon Cartoon

— April 23, 2011 — Lifestyle
Clearly the David Schwen Poké series was created by a emphatic fan who just needed to surround himself with Pokemon paraphernalia that just isn't available on the market (yet). Although Schewen has only created four such unique products, I can only hope that it doesn't end there, especially considering how well-executed each of them is.

The David Schwen Poké series is a fun collection of objects and photos that includes a beer can, burger box, banana and book cover that have all been covered strategically with paint in the colors of red, black and white to take the form of a familiar logo. I especially like how David Schwen Poké series has sayings like "Gotta drink ‘em all!"
Trend Themes
1. Fan-made Products - The success of the David Schwen Poké series shows a demand for unique and creatively designed fan-made products.
2. Branded Makeovers - Opportunities abound for companies to collaborate with designers to create branded versions of everyday products, similar to the Schwen Poké series.
3. Colorful Product Design - The use of bold colors in product design, as demonstrated by the Schwen Poké series, can offer a fresh take on familiar items.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Goods - Companies in the consumer goods industry could incorporate popular franchises into their products, or partner with independent designers to create fan-made, limited edition items.
2. Marketing & Advertising - Marketers can tap into the nostalgia and passion of fandom communities with creative campaigns that celebrate fan-made products and promote branded collaborations.
3. Art & Design - Opportunities for independent artists and designers to create licensed, branded products and collaborations with companies, capitalizing on a trend of unique and eye-catching product design.
