Kiehls — Advent Calender
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We teamed up with our good friends at Kiehls to create some fun 3D characters with a whole lot of personality to ring in a bunch of holiday cheer!
Over the course of several months we designed an extensive set of characters, props and patterns to be applied across a wide range of media. Everything from limited edition packaging, a full advent calendar, in-store window displays, looping LED screen animations and even wrapping paper and crochet gift bags.
