Character design · High-visibility retail campaign

AL & DI — ALDI

Designed AL and DI, the two characters at the centre of an important, wide-reach campaign for ALDI, and extended them into plush and everyday products.

Product Development

The task

Create two characters that could carry a major retail campaign and live as products customers want to take home.

The outcome

A campaign that generated visible customer demand for the plush, with fans asking publicly when they would go on sale.

What I did

  • Designed the characters AL and DI and developed them as plush, packed as a pair.
  • Extended the characters into other products: mugs and food containers.
  • Took the products through development with the factory.
