HYDRUM VEIL is a skincare brand built around a premium SPF 50+ sunscreen, developed as a complete brand identity, packaging design, and seasonal advertising campaign.
The project explores a question most seasonal beauty work gets wrong: how do you make a limited-edition campaign feel festive without making it feel cheap?
Instead of stacking decorative props, the campaign holds a strict visual system - vivid pumpkin orange, deep twilight violet, warm cream, and restrained black and lets a single product carry every frame.
The 404 was treated as a proper page rather than a fallback state.
The number is constructed as an architectural drawing. The 4 and the 0 are formed from walls at true thickness, with furniture laid out inside the resulting rooms and dimension strings running along both edges. It sits inside the same drafting system as the rest of the site rather than borrowing a display typeface.
The error message then repeats. Instead of a single dialog, identical windows cascade back across the canvas, each one carrying the same 404 notice. It reads as a system throwing an unresolved warning over and over, which is the exact behaviour Heron is built to prevent inside a model.
Error pages are never in the brief. They're a good measure of whether a team understood the product or just styled it.
Treating a 404 as an actual page instead of a dead end is such a good instinct, where did the architectural drawing idea come from, personal interest bleeding into the work?
