Winter Spiced illustration | Packaging Design for Mesjokke Chocolate by subsoda

Design Product & Packaging

Commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
Subsoda created the identity of Mesjokke. ‘Mesjokke’ (Dutch) means ‘crazy’. The illustrations are based on ultimate heavenly feelings, because that fits the feeling of eating chocolate. And a bit crazy of course, in a poetic matter.We taste the chocolate prior to designing the package; try to grab the right feeling. For the Winter Spiced we like to show the delicacy, cosiness and warmth inside.

How was the illustration used:
The illustrated work is used on the packaging for the Mesjokke chocolate bars. There is a 40 grams bar (and package) and a 80 grams bar (and package).

How did you make this work:
Pull on those fuzzy warm socks and enjoy the cold outside. Or the coziness inside. On the couch, in bed, in front of a roaring fire. With someone special or for a special moment on your own. We tried to capture the best parts of winter in this packaging design.The materials: mostly watercolor and help of Photoshop + Illustrator. We like the handmade feeling, fits to the feeling of the package.
