RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Gourmet chocolate lovers were involved in the research implemented by young designers. The main findings lead the project to the decision to create the package which will present the chocolate as a present with the secrets, presented under each peace of the chocolate bar.
The knowledge acquired while studying art (PhD) during 2012-2017 laid a foundation for creative activity of AQUA LINGUA voice pictures.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part was to find the right words to be presented as a secret for the gourmet lovers. The technical solution to present the QR code was not easy too. This code is an essential part of this packaging, but it's not very pleasant to the eye. It was important to find the most suitable place for it, so it won't impact the whole design in a bad way.
