Graphic Design Internship at nuud

In October 2024 I started a Graphic Design Internship at nuud - a 100% natural, vegan deodorant company.

My internship ended on 27th of February 2025. It was a wonderful experience, which gave me the opportunities to work on various interesting assignments, that are demonstrated below.

A picture I created during the internship

IMAGES FOR THE CAMPAIGN EMAILS

Every week nuud sends promotional email news letters to their subscribers.

On this internship I was creating animated or still images for their email campaigns and organizing text in the emails. You can see the examples of my work below.

CHRISTMAS EMAILS

I created a library of Christmas and celebration related assets, that nuud could use for various campaigns, social media posts, etc.

With this library, nuud's design team can take different clothes, decoration elements and mix-match them to create new illustrative materials.

SOME MORE IMAGES FOR EMAILS

This email's theme was "Get 3 for the price of 2". In the briefing it was mentioned that I should showcase 3 Sticks and 3 Starter Packs. That's when I had an idea to make the email image to portray a slot machine that gives 3 Sticks or 3 Starter Packs in the end of each round.

INTEGRATING MORE PROPS INTO NUUD'S BRANDING

When I joined nuud, I was fascinated to see, that the company uses simple cute blob-shaped characters for its branding. However, when I started working on illustrations for the emails and social media, I wanted to add more props to the designs and the characters, such as clothing, hand tools and surrounding objects (you could see it represented the best in the Christmas and Halloween email campaigns and social media posts). I absolutely love and appreciate the fact that nuud allowed me to bring new playful touch to the overall look in most of the tasks I worked on.

Human Character designs I created for nuud's "Family Adventure Pack"

For the Spring/Summer 2025 nuud released a new "Family Adventure Pack". I was asked to create 4 human character illustrations in 4 sweaty situations (carrying groceries, running to the bus, doing a few things at once, biking). I was also asked to animate these illustrations for email campaigns and social media. It was an interesting assignment, because nuud did not have any illustrations or graphic materials that would include humans before. Therefore, it was up to me to create character designs that would fit the brand style.

Plus, I prepared Adobe After Effects animation files (presented below) in such a way, that nuud can easily change the colour of any detail of the drawing at any moment.

I helped to make the map and mountains illustrations for the leaflet inside the "Family Adventure Pack" package.

I was given the illustration of the first page of the leaflet with the map and asked if I can improve it. So, I redrew the map illustration in the visual language, which is representative of nuud's style: consisting of flat simplified shapes without outlines.

Just a small experiment

SOME ANIMATIONS THAT I MADE FOR NUUD

Illustrations I made for bussiness cards for some members of the nuud team

I made this illustration for the front side of the cards

The backside of the business card of each team member is supposed to contain a QR-code with their contact information. And to make the cards really different from each other, I decided to make a portrait of each nuud worker for their own business cards. Of course, the portraits are made on brand.

DISPLAY GRAPHICS DESIGN

I created illustrations for the display, which would be showcasing company's products in shops.

WEBSITE PAGES

The shopping pages on nuud website had a lot of product photographs placed next to each other, and the design team wanted to make the website more appealing. Therefore, I was given a task to create images for the website to put in-between products.

For that assignment I chose to use illustrative photography - a combination of the photographs, that were already in nuud's library and illustrative elements, that I drew for this photographs.

ILLUSTRATED CHARACTERS FOR THE NEW SCENTED STICKS

Recently, nuud launched new scented sticks. The branding of nuud always included cute simple characters, which would appear in illustrative materials for email campaigns, web assets, packaging, social media posts, etc. Therefore, one of my first internship tasks was to create new character designs, specifically related to the new scented sticks. Below, you can see my sketches and final results.
