Our personal taste test for a Singapore-based artisanal chocolatier.
Annually, as a heartfelt expression of appreciation for our valued clients and friends, Idea Ink crafts a bespoke gift. This year, we collaborated with Fossa Chocolate to design unique packaging for a custom chocolate bar and curated an exclusive sticker pack dedicated to our cherished clients and friends.
In true Idea Ink fashion, our designs were adapted into augmented reality and animated GIFs.
Read on to discover our unique approach to reimagining traditional product packaging!

Analysing the existing product sleeve, we started brainstorming unique ways to show our gratitude towards our beloved clients, and friends.
We began by illustrating the static product sleeve, carefully ensuring details of the chocolate itself were not missed out.
The chocolate's outer sleeve that would house two chocolate bars, was designed with geometrical shapes in mind to showcase the building blocks of our unique company structure - Idea Ink and Thoth.ai.
The Idea Ink chocolate bar, highlights our expertise as a visual consultancy, which featured a graphic recorder holding her highlighter in front of an easel display.
We also played tribute to our baby software, Thoth.ai. Showcasing the software's mascot, Thoth - an ibis which represents the ancient god of scribing, holding a similar tool in front of his canvas, a digital display.
Our sticker pack highlights our expertise, which includes a solution for synthesising multiple documents, as well as online and offline hybrid experiences. It also spotlights an appreciation for creative ideas and brainstorming, and showcases an ability to summarise content efficiently on the go.
(1) Animated GIFs
We included micro-animations to an otherwise static image to further enhance the experience of our recipients.

(2) Augmented Reality
Reimagining the world as our digital playground, we transformed the chocolate bar into a virtual spectacle.
With the help of an overly-talented illustrator and Spark AR, our clients could use their smartphones to view the additional content, that would only be found in the digital space.
