Award Certificate



Recommendation One: Soothing Lotion at Amusement Parks


Recommended distributing travel-sized Jergens Soothing Aloe Lotion inside amusement parks to quell sunburns.

The design is reminiscent of existing Jergens branding but offers a playful, hand-drawn style to push the idea of having a fun day at the amusement park.
