An early taste of Senses, a skincare identity built around the shift from overstimulation to comfort. The system pairs a fluid wordmark with clinical typography and an olive-glass form designed to feel precise, tactile, and quietly luxurious.
For this Hydration Serum study, I placed the same object between two sensory extremes: humid moss and sun-warmed sand. One speaks to replenishment; the other, to the need for it. Which world draws you in?
I agree with you, I actually love the conceptual contrast between the dessert and the hydration serum. And the fun part is I realized when I posted it and saw them both side by side.
Thank you!
Really beautiful work! The contrast between the desert and moss concepts is such a strong visual direction. The branding feels premium, tactile, and very thoughtfully crafted. 🔥
I like the desert direction. The warmth gives the serum a more unexpected feel, and I think that contrast makes the product stand out without losing the identity. It feels like a direction that could translate really well into a wider campaign system too.
It is unexpected 100% I loved that about it, unfortunately for the desert, moss won but I think the possibility for a wider campaign or commercial using the desert idea is open!
Moss winning for the pack while Desert stays on the table for a campaign is the right split — the pack has to promise the outcome shelf-side, but a campaign can afford to dramatize the problem first. Different jobs, different register.
A little more about the inspiration behind Tindara.
I wanted the identity to have a connection to Tindari, Sicily. The Madonna di Tindari statue was the starting point for the symbol, while Sicilian decorative patterns inspired the graphics around it.
For the colors, I chose mustard yellow, deep green, and burgundy, balanced with cream. I wanted to bring some of that warmth and richness into the packaging, while keeping the different elements comfortable together.
For me, these references are what give the project its character and sense of place.
