Floral Holiday Packaging
BEEKMAN 1802
Pattern Illustration, Package Design, Art Direction
Surface patterns and spot illustrations created for Beekman 1802's Holiday collection, Special Delivery, featured on HSN and QVC over the 2019-2020 holiday season.
THE BRIEF
Create a winter-themed botanical pattern, illustrated animal characters that tell the story of Beekman 1802's theme: Special Delivery.
Deliverables:
Floral Spot Illustrations + Bundles
Animal Illustrations
Gift Illustrations
To be used across packaging sets, gift boxing, wrapping paper and web/social media.
DELIVERABLE #1:
Floral Spot Illustrations
I created a set of several dozen individual spot illustrations that could be combined in infinite ways: repeating patterns, bundles, wreaths. See the process and set highlights below:
Tools used:
Illustrated in Procreate
Finalized in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator
Printed with silver foil
In-store retail display, with the floral pattern used on products and as wrapping paper.
DELIVERABLE #2:
Animal Character Illustrations
Animals were pertinent to the storytelling of the Special Delivery collection. To start, we developed the same animals in multiple illustration styles, a traditional line style along with whimsical swirled versions.
Ultimately, the characters were further developed. We incorporated a "Post Office" theme with the addition of mail bags, hats and envelopes. These animals playfully delivered special deliveries of letters and gifts and were seen throughout the collection.
DELIVERABLE #3:
Gift Illustrations
Lastly, I illustrated a set of small gifts that could be tucked into the floral pattern, in mail bags and across products.
Once combined, all elements became a complex, intricate monochrome pattern, printed on matte black with silver foil and topped with signature black bows.
