Purdys Christmas Packaging
Creative direction, design and illustration (various years).
As the company’s largest season, Christmas packaging needed to include different styles to appeal to a wide range of customers, with designs that would be cherished and enjoyed alongside the chocolate by family and friends.
It was my responsibility to research design trends and create a seasonal art direction plan that mapped out the different creative and illustration styles that would be used across all of the different types of packaging. At Purdys packaging operates on a 2 year life-cycle and a key consideration of the art direction process was how the new designs could work alongside existing packaging (potential to be seen on shelf together).
Designs and illustrations completed whilst working in-house at Purdys Chocolatier. Photos sourced from and remain the copyright of Purdys Chocolatier.
