Gaim is a cutting-edge, Swedish-based gaming company poised to revolutionize first-person shooter virtual reality. Specializing in immersive experiences utilizing customized handgun and rifle peripherals in conjunction with Meta's VR headsets, Gaim offers a diverse range of arenas, including hunting simulations, skills competitions, and specialized training modules for military and police applications. This project involved establishing the overall art direction for Gaim's website and the packaging design for their unique VR shooting products, creating a cohesive and impactful brand presence.

Process

The art direction for Gaim was developed with a strong emphasis on a tactical and modern aesthetic to reflect its advanced gaming technology. The website was envisioned as a dual-purpose platform, serving both as a dynamic marketing tool and a fully functional e-commerce portal where users could purchase Gaim's hardware and simulation software. This necessitated the design of a comprehensive responsive web experience, including a shopping cart, customer support resources, an about section, contact information, detailed product pages, customer testimonials, and engaging product landing pages. To establish the visual tone and feel for the brand, Midjourney AI was employed to generate conceptual photography, which would then serve as inspiration for a real-life photoshoot, ensuring a consistent and high-quality visual representation across all platforms.
