The first day of this school term, we were given our first assignment for Graphic Design II. It wasn't very difficult . . . we needed to go buy a chocolate bar. I almost couldn't believe my good fortune . . . I think this was the best assigment ever, and after class I went to several stores, in search of chocolate . . . we needed to take pictures of the bars and the displays, too. The idea was to use it to look at how the packaging was printed and put together, and to use the chocolate inside to put into a unique wrapper (that we each would design). We could choose a country to use as a theme in making the design, and I decided on Iceland. I liked the idea of using an image of the Northern Lights somehow. There were several steps in the project, including marketing research and creating a "persona" who would be interested in purchasing your product. My persona was an "Urban Art Lover" -- someone who likes to travel and also loves beautiful artwork. Then we all designed wrappers, printed them out and put them around the actual candy-- Voila! chocolate products that were our own brand designs. Then we took a picture of the product, so others could see it in a photo.

It's going to take a while before I totally remove chocolates from my diet. I guess I will only be able to do it if one bar will be enough to kill me in an instant. When that time comes, I will always remember to give the chocolate away and keep the wrapper. I have always had this love hate relationship with candy wrappers. I hate it when pests chew on them yet I have this really strong urge to keep them because they are always decorated in fantastic ways.
