I mentioned before that I am someone who enjoys the process of design. The art you see with products have to catch the eye of the consumer if they are going to compete with all that is available out there. I am especially a fan of the box art you find with toys. So many pretty colors. Before I ever opened a toy I got as a kid (or an adult for that matter) I would study the box that it came in. I was not one of those kids who threw the box out and just stored all my toys in a plastic bin. Everything had to go back into the original box until I was ready to play with that toy again. I then would stack these boxes on the shelves in my closet so that when I wanted to everything I needed was right there. I think by using the shelves I was mimicking the toy store and preserving that feeling I always get walking through the toy aisles. I still display my toys like that as many of you have seen. I chose to spotlight Batman toys in this first installment of 'Cal's Box Art'. since like Superman and Spiderman, Batman has his face on many many licenced products.
