| coco jalila chocolate boxes (final) . 2020 |
hello from the confines of self isolation! i hope everyone is staying safe and washing their hands regularly and practising social distancing. i'd like to think that i'm trying to stay calm during these troublesome times. but it's hard to do so when almost everyone around me is in panic mode. let's all do our part, stay calm, and rid the world of this silly corona virus together.
on a lighter note, she's finally here – madame coco has been introduced to the world on coco jalila's newest chocolate boxes. i'm so happy to finally see this illustration printed. i started working with coco jalila shortly after moving back home post risd. i created some fun illustrations last year for their upcoming line of boxes (you can read all about it here). however, 2019 wasn't the year they'd print new boxes. cut to corona 2020, and madame coco was selected as the face of coco jalila's new boxes! i made a few minor adjustments to the background on the final artwork. i'm really happy with the end product and how the printed boxes turned out. i think the artwork really stands out amongst the other chocolate brand packaging out there.
i really wish these boxes were launched during better global circumstances. but better late than never i guess. if you're reading this, keep a look out for coco jalila's chocolates located in all the address hotels around town (once it's good to go back out into the city). or you can place orders via their instagram and website. trust me when i say, their chocolates are realllllllly good! support homegrown businesses like coco jalila, especially in these difficult times.
