Chocolate by Design

When it comes to design, chocolatiers seem to know what’s what. Maybe it’s because making chocolate is an artform it itself, so they can appreciate great graphics. Or perhaps they just know what sort of look is going to sell their product and represent their brand best. Whatever the case, they know that a good presentation is everything. Here are a few of my favorites that I’ve spotted lately.

New Business Cards

Sometimes the fastest and most furious of designs turn out to be the truest. I designed these cards for myself in about fifteen minutes flat last Monday after realizing I needed some new ones for Alt. Instead of going all in with the Design Crush logo, I opted to focus on my name while staying true to the fonts used in the logo. I then had them printed on some really nice matte cardstock. I’m really pleased with the end result.
