#whelpdale

I was commissioned by the Louisville based chocolatiers Whelpdale Chocolates to come up with a complete redesign of their packaging for their mainline range of vegan bars, what you’ll see below are completely hand drawn packaging telling the story of the guy behind the chocolate - Gary Whelpdale - and how he came to find himself as the head of his own chocolate company.

It was a real pleasure to work on these images, I took great pains to get every aspect to my satisfaction, I hadn’t done much product design before and wanted to have my own spin on it, I wanted people to see these and feel like each bar was worth having, as if it was it’s own distinct experience, to tell the story of the taste through the imagery and colours.

I hope you enjoy looking over this series, it’s very close to my heart and when they launch later this summer be sure to check out Whelpdale Chocolates to order a few bars!
