Sweet's Gourmet Taffy

The colouring of these designs is what gives them the high visual impact. Also, the shape and form of the packaging creates intrigue to the audience as they become curious as to it's contents. Something to consider if I am to produce packaging as my final product.

Chocolate Scrabble

Chocolate you can make a game out of ...whatever next! This creates immense interaction between the audience and the product.

Personalised M&Ms

Incorporating a personal touch to a sweet is one sure way to captivate your audience, it also gives them a sense of intimacy which can only be a good thing.

Nerds Packaging

....sooo this is how the candy is poured in two separate coloured streams! The two colours used in this packaging will surely catch the eye of any young child. It is becoming apparent that colour is key in the commercial sales of sweets.

Wonka Website

What a fun and interactive website, I love the graphics used in this. The purple theme of the logo is continued throughout each page, creating this sense high end confectionary. It is also extremely informative in a fun way.

Creating a world of fantasy where exploration sets your world alive is exactly what this film entails.

Honey & Mackie's

These designs are fun with a playful use of typography and colour.

Chocolate Mail by Toby Ng Kwong To

'The designer Toby Ng Kwong To, a recent Graphic design graduate from Central St. Martins in London, came up with a good idea for old-fashioned lickable stamps packaging.

“If we have to lick it anyway why not make it tasty so we can all be happier”, he thought and created Chocolate Mail, which comes in 3 flavours – dark, milk and white chocolate. They are a set of 24 1st class stamps that are designed to look like a bar of chocolate, packaged as an envelope.'


I think these are genius! Using an everyday product which you are required to lick and improving the taste can only result in a success.


In the News....

I found there were many interesting stories related to sweets in the News. These were predominately related to health and children consuming sweets. This proved sweets were and can become a problem if we do not consume them as part of a healthy and balanced diets. Thus leading me to researching into the relation of health and confectionary.

A few facts....

I found these facts highly interesting and if I could find a way in which I could portray these to the public for them aware of these facts, it could be an interesting route to take this project. Hmmm.

Heston Blumenthal ...what a man!

Something that should be sweet tasting savoury .....hmmmmm! Playing with flavours and how you can mix them up a bit could be an innovative take.
