**Case Study**
The hit TV show *The Walking Dead* has rapidly become a cult classic, captivating fans with its gory, apocalyptic, and zombie-filled universe. The series, based on Robert Kirkman's comic books, follows Sheriff Rick Grimes as he navigates a post-apocalyptic world overrun by the undead, alongside other survivors. To celebrate the show and offer fans a unique keepsake, CustomUSB crafted an incredibly detailed USB drive shaped to resemble one of the most iconic zombies from the series—Bicycle Girl.

**Project Objective**
Our goal was to design a zombie-themed USB drive that accurately depicted the very first zombie Rick Grimes encountered in the pilot episode of *The Walking Dead*. We aimed to create a product that would thrill fans while maintaining top-notch functionality, ensuring it could serve as both a stylish collectible and a reliable tech gadget.

**How We Did It**
This project highlighted the immense creativity within the CustomUSB team. The licensing and design processes were extensive, and our team was *dedicated* to capturing the essence of this USB down to the smallest detail.
To start, we collaborated closely with AMC to ensure the USB was true to the character. After receiving interest from AMC for creating an exclusive memorabilia item, we presented several zombie concepts from the series. Ultimately, we settled on Bicycle Girl—not only a fan favorite but also a powerful symbol of the show's shocking undead imagery. Once the concept was locked in, the design phase began, involving multiple iterations to refine the details.

**Licensing**
As an official AMC product, this USB underwent a rigorous approval process. The network maintains high standards for its merchandise, so we worked diligently with AMC to ensure the USB met their expectations. The collaboration resulted in a product that honors the show while staying true to its iconic elements.
The initial renderings were developed to capture the essence of Bicycle Girl. Her posture and expression were carefully designed to convey both horror and authenticity. After three rounds of revisions, we finalized her reaching-out pose, which added an interactive element to the USB. This decision made the product more visually engaging while protecting the USB from damage.

**Initial Design**
Once the concept was set, our creative team got to work on bringing the design to life. Several brainstorming sessions later, we produced sketches that captured the eerie charm of Bicycle Girl. One key challenge was balancing aesthetics with functionality. For instance, how could we make the USB accessible without compromising its zombie-like appearance?
The breakthrough came when we decided users would need to "pull out her guts" to access the USB. This not only added to the product's horror aesthetic but also protected the drive from accidental damage. After finalizing the design, we moved into the prototyping phase. The first hand-sculpted prototype was a testament to our team's craftsmanship and attention to detail.

**Finishing Touches**
We wanted this USB to stand the test of time, becoming a classic among *Walking Dead* fans. To achieve this, every single USB is hand-painted, ensuring each one is unique. The molds are made from durable injected PVC, and while the base is spray-painted uniformly, the intricate details that make the zombie truly terrifying are meticulously hand-painted.
The final product arrives in a clear collector’s box, adding the perfect finishing touch to this chilling masterpiece. Fans can now own a piece of pop culture history—a USB drive that doubles as a conversation-starting collectible.
