What if your favorite skincare brand got a Halloween makeover? π·οΈ
For this little experiment, Iβm giving The Ordinary a π€π¬π±π₯ alter ego.
The challenge was keeping the things that make the brand instantly recognizable: its straightforward logo and typographic editorial layout, clinical packaging, and no-nonsense aesthetic.
Instead of turning it into a completely different brand, I wanted to push those same elements into darker territory with π’π’π―π¦π’ tonesπΈοΈ , gothic details, and a more mysterious product presentation.
Even in costume, you should know exactly who you're looking at.
Which brand would you love to see get a Halloween makeover next? π»

This is genius Anita! π·οΈ Giving The Ordinary a goth alter ego but keeping it instantly recognizable - that's the real challenge and you nailed it! The black bottles with that vintage gothic border still feel so The Ordinary. Love how you kept the typographic editorial but made it spooky. The Ordinary but make it Halloween! π€
thank youuuuu! I had so much fun thinking about this
Not bad at all.

A little packaging design appreciation π
UluSoleil was one of my first big clients, and over time, I helped bring four of their products to life through packaging design.
This lip balm tube was all about balancing a delicate, feminine aesthetic with clear product communication, thoughtful typography, and functional packaging.
Iβm still working on the full case study, but I wanted to share a little peek at the process!

Gorgeous color story and tactile packaging! Beautiful work, Anita!
Honey should taste like somewhere π―
Spent the past week designing BEELINE, a single-apiary honey brand built on one idea: every jar comes from a specific place and time, so the packaging should show it.
No hexagons, no cartoon bees, no wooden crates. Just one thin line, the flight path of a bee from hive to flower, drawn short and direct for acacia, long and tangled for buckwheat. Four varieties, four colors, four routes. π
Sometimes the most honest thing a jar can say is where itβs been.
Love the storytelling behind this packaging. Turning each beeβs flight path into a visual identity is such a clever touch.
