Philip Lindeman x Harry’s
We love it when the perfect brief for an artist comes in, and this project ticked all the boxes for Philip Lindeman. A Halloween packaging project with a haunted house theme that gave him the opportunity to create a world packed with spooky characters and nods to classic 90s Halloween nostalgia? Dreamy. And all while working with forward thinking razor brand Harry’s? Even better!
Philip created front and back designs in his inimitable style as well as a cute spooky sticker pack for Harry’s limited edition ‘Glowing Groomer’. As the name suggests, the razor handle itself glows in the dark sparking core 90s Halloween memories, and Philip’s illustration was highlighted with glow in the dark areas to compliment the product.
Philip was delighted to be commissioned for this project:
“Being asked to design packaging is always a thrill! It’s that sweet spot where storytelling meets product design. It can be challenging finding the balance between serving the brand and keeping enough creative freedom to play and push things further. For this project, that balance came very naturally! A glow-in-the-dark razor with a Halloween theme? The concept already invited fun. Blending the everyday act of shaving with nostalgic, 90s-inspired spooky vibes was the perfect playground for my imagination”
The subject matter really was a dream come true for Philip whose work is often filled with nostalgic references, with each illustration containing a myriad of stories within it’s lines.
“I filled the design with subtle references, hidden jokes, and textures that evoke childhood memories of Halloween. And finally getting to illustrate a full-on haunted house scene – something I’ve wanted to do for years – made it even better.
Bringing in glow-in-the-dark details was truly the icing on the cake. A dream project from start to finish and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Thanks Harry’s!”
