If I was going to design a package for a new premium chocolate bar for an affluent market I, would first recommend an upscale looking package. The inside packaging would be gold foil, and it would cover the candy bar. The gold color gives a sense of richness and better quality. The outside of the packaging would be in brown, blue, and gold.

For example, 100% Swedish dark chocolate. Since the consumer will be paying a higher price for this product it, is important to make sure they know they are getting high-quality ingredients.

The way, the ad was designed, captures the reader’s attention with words in all caps and some supersized.
Rice Krispies cereal has changed dramatically over time. When the cereal was first introduced its box was very plain with just words, no pictures. When Kellogg’s put pictures on the boxes and incorporated the elves there was a noticeable difference. Over time, the boxes became more colorful and fun. The word size and font changed is one big change. The elves skin tone to their outfits, this was a more subtle change. The most recent Rice Krispie packaging has bubble letters, the word Kellogg’s is smaller and set back a bit, the elves are smaller, and the product nutritional value is on the front of the box. These changes are ones the
