Along with the arrival of each holiday season here at Dynamo, comes the challenge of coming up with a new and original concept for the gift we send off to our friends, clients and collaborators. The idea is to show our appreciation for all of the fun stuff they let us get away with throughout the year, and hopefully spread a little holiday cheer while we're at it. It's also a chance to step outside of our digital comfort zone and experiment with unfamiliar mediums. This year, we conquered chocolate.
After a couple of brainstorm sessions filled with chocolate bar sketching and of course obligatory tastings, we settled on the concept of combining original type design with gourmet chocolate. Once we'd created our custom type designs, we teamed up with the folks over at Suite 88, Montréal's premier chocolatier, and let them work their magic. The result? Some seriously heavyweight slabs of chocolate, engraved with positive mantras for the new year. Check out all the designs below.
All wrapped up...
