Design Concept
Inspiration
The bold patterns and modular furniture of the Memphis Group inspired me. I decided to incorporate their iconic geometric style into the packaging design of my box.
Sketches
Next, I sketched out how the chocolate shapes could interlock and their dimensions.
Clay Prototypes
I created clay prototypes of my chocolate shapes to test the connection and durability of the design.
Packaging
Laser Cutting
I set up my design file in Adobe Illustrator, then used the Universal VLS 4.60 to laser cut my packaging!
Product Inset
I slanted the box’s inset so that the chocolates would slide out in a fun, angled arrangement.
Final Product
Branding
The final brand identity emphasizes the natural aspects of COCO GEO chocolates. Inspired by the cacao plant, the color palette features warm greens and earthy browns.
Chocolates
To create the chocolate shape mold, I vaccum sealed lasercut shapes and fill the negative with chocolate!
Looking back…
Developing this gourmet chocolate brand allowed me to explore the intersection of graphics, packaging, and flavor! One challenge was that the vacuum seal couldn’t fully reach the notches, so I had to hand-cut each chocolate to refine the shape. In the future, I would use a different mold for better precision.
