S’HOT: ‘five o’clock shadow’
The brief: Create three executions for Gillette razors, playing on the idea of the ‘five o’clock shadow’ that appear on men’s faces if they don’t have a close enough shave. The five o’clock shadow in each execution was to be interpreted as the shadow of a monster, frightening the characters in the scene that are interacting with our hero. The style reference was Tim Burton and Edward Gorey – macabre black and white sketched characters in a slightly dark and distorted setting.
