Packaging Illustration & Design for Seasonal Campaigns – New Farm Confectionery
A series of nature-inspired packaging illustrations created for New Farm Confectionery across seasonal campaigns, including Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Christmas.
Commissioned to develop a cohesive visual direction, the brief centred on playfully wrapped, nature-inspired sweet treats–each collection designed to feel distinct while remaining recognisably part of the brand’s world.
Working across illustration, design, and creative direction, I developed each campaign using hand-painted watercolour elements, digitally composed into intricate repeat patterns for packaging and marketing materials. The result is a series that balances individuality with consistency, bringing a sense of charm, colour, and collectability to each special occasion release.
