Chocolate Box

Below is a flip book of my development process for my chocolate box packaging. It shows early brainstorms and possible other directions before I ultimately decided to settle on a confectionary box. It then goes on to show how I created the dimensions within illustrator. I simply created solid blocks of colours and used the rulers tool to get them to the right sizes. I made sure the colours used for each component of the net were different, that way ensuring that I could design onto these nets with no confusion. Then it goes on to show a few design ideas and experimentation before settling on the final visuals, found on the last page of the document. Other processes dealt with include small prototypes and how well they functioned, some with more success than others.

Below is a final PDF document showing my chocolate box net. The size of the paper would be A2 to ensure that the box is the right size to house a DVD.

Below here are my two most successful designs for my DVD itself. I used this document in the print room to cut out perfect circles around the designs using the sticker cutter. Ideally the design itself would be printed directly onto the DVD, however this was not an option at this particular point in time.

Below are images of my final package in its fully assembled state. I had a few problems with dimensions and getting the chocolate layer to fit snugly in the bottom part of the package, but after a few alterations I managed it. I think the ribbon wrapped around the box is a nice touch and really brings it together. I hope that the effort I have put into creating the packaging is appreciated and shows my strengths in design for print, rather than highlighting my weaknesses in design for screen.
