typography

comrade bold was chosen to represent a more playful side of the theme. used to disclose the flavor on the bag.

morris troy and morris golden are loaded with personality, but with the latter being more suitable for highlighting a section within body text. morris troy would serve as an accentuating dose of medievalism to accompany the dragons.

bernhard gothic medium is highly legible and was used on the less intriguing content of the package, such as distribution information.

All illustrations relating to the chip's flacor cues. Includes mango, habanero peppers, garlic, chipotle peppers, jalapeno peppers, and lime.

package build

the illustrations were designed around a text build made in adobe illustrator, then sent off to be drawn over in procreate, where the dragons and flavor images were drawn so that they would compliment the composition of the text instead of fight it. each image was given a dark gradient for the back side of the bags to ensure text contrast would be retained across all background colors.
