My chocolate bar wrapping was always the part of the meal that I was most concerned about, that's why I focused on it so much in the early stages of the brief. My main concern was working with such a small template, how would the quotes look when compressed so much and most importantly how could I fit all the necessary information onto such a small label? Another cause for concern was the strict aesthetics of pre existing chocolate bars. I mean when you look at a shelf of chocolate bars, perhaps one or two will be packaged differently, but the majority are simply wrapped up in one piece of stock with the motifs printed directly onto this. Therefore I was stuck with the dilemma of recreating this typical chocolate bar look with only a limited choice of materials. However I think I pulled it off and am proud of the way my final construction looks. It took a lot of precision and patience to assemble the final thing, making sure I glued the back up just right and stuck the ends together correctly without crushing the bar inside or creasing the paper unnecessarily. I am also proud of the labels themselves. I could have chosen to use something that wrapped around the whole thing, giving me more room and an easier construction job. However, the main emphasis of my packaging are the quote compositions printed onto the basic wrapping and I did not want to detract from these. So designing a smaller label seemed more appropriate, and with the interesting shape that I went for, seemed to fit incredibly well within the snack pack set.
