L.O.L. Surprise! :

Episodic Character Series

Client:  Double Plus Good + MGA Entertainment

Design + Animation + Illustration: Mark Aguilar

MGA wanted to expand the L.O.L. Surprise! brand—Toy of the Year and a top-selling collectible—by creating story-driven content that explored the dolls’ personalities, relationships, and desires.

I was tasked with developing a four-episode series told entirely from the dolls’ point of view, where all action unfolds on their cellphones as they text, like photos, order food, and more.

Using a mix of illustration, video, and photography, I brought Lady Diva, Swag, and others to life.

The result is an exclusive series that gave fans a fresh window into the dolls’ world while deepening brand engagement.

 

Character Illustration

Memoji’s, LOL Surprise version of Bitmojis.  These are bespoke illustrations that have the look and feel of a cartoonish avatar but still stay on brand.

Screen Shots

What would the phone of a “LOL Surprise” diva look like?

Home screens, social media apps, messaging apps, and more!  These elements had to be created and they needed to look like they belonged in the world of “LOL Surprise.”
