Decided to use one of my redwood tree drawings for the holiday card. Did a few variations as usual and had a hard time making up my mind which I preferred.

Disney / Sephora packaging – mirror compacts

graphic design, illustration, package design, Sephora

I created these Package designs for Sephora, with 6 Disney Characters. Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Frozen (Elsa & Anna), Snow White. The work includes an illustration on the top of the compact lid, and then the entire box or package was thought out. They were available only on Sephora’s website and the downtown LA Disney store in Orange county, Anaheim.

I used a few existing stock Disney silhouette vector images for each, created the colors, package layouts, patterned backgrounds, the compact lid illustrations, font choices, entire box design.
