Packaging Design Brief

I need inserts for a clam shell for a product called the ISS-Above (issabove.com). The device is based on a Raspberry Pi (a tiny Linux computer) and programmed to calculate when the Space Station is overhead, flash some LED lights, display informational screens and stream live video views of Earth from the Space Station. The product contains the ISS-Above, a power supply and a simple instruction sheet.

The device is used by private individuals, schools and corporations to increase awareness of the International Space Station and the amazing human achievement that it is.

The packaging needs to convey wonder and awe on the front, information on the back about the device and what it does. Right now, the mock up is dull and not eye-catching.

Attached will be all the assets we have right now and the specific sizes of the two card pieces that will be inserted in the clam shell.
