The brief

Spawday already had a name, a face, and a story. It needed a packaging line that could sit on the shelf as the calm option and still feel like a dog made it.

The intention with the packaging was to give Spawday a clean, premium feel without losing the personality the brand is built on. It's my brother's brand, so I came in once the identity was set: the name, the lavender-and-blue palette, and Elvis drawn in a single line. My job was to turn that into labels for the whole range.

The approach

Clean labels, a soft palette, and a clear order to read them in.

Each label leads with the product name, keeps the details in a calm block underneath, and gives Elvis a fixed spot at the bottom. The colour does the sorting: one tone per product, so the range reads as a family and you can still tell them apart at a glance.

The full Spawday line: the shampoo, paw foam, relax oil, protect balm and jade-roller kit box, each label built on the same layout
The full range.
One system, five containers

The same label, across very different bottles.

A tall foam pump, a little dropper, a squat balm jar, a big shampoo bottle. Each one is a different size and shape, so the layout had to flex without falling apart. Same structure every time, the name and the face in the same place, and the colour carrying the difference.

Shiny Fur Shampoo: an amber bottle with a lavender label, the product name set large above the details and the line-drawn dog face below

Pawdicure and Manicure: a tall white foam pump with a soft-blue label carrying the same layout as the shampoo

In the bathroom

Photographed where it lives.

The line was shot by Jonathan Perlmann in a green-marble bathroom, with Elvis modelling. Seeing the products together with Elvis, was where the whole range came together.

For the feed

Templates so the brand could keep posting on its own.

The social templates use the same building blocks as the packaging: the palette, the face, the type. A few set layouts for product posts, testimonials and text posts, so Spawday can fill a feed without rebuilding a design from scratch each time.
