KOKO TOYAMA

Panettone is a traditional Italian fruitcake pastry, commonly given during Christmastime. They are packaged in various ways but most recognizably in brightly colored boxes. The almost identical spelling between the words "panettone" and "Pantone" was what inspired this project. For Christmas I created mini panettone boxes designed as Pantone chips. Each box featured either a family member or coworker's name, and a Pantone color reference number picked just for them. I engineered the box design so that once the mini panettone cake was popped out, the packaging could still be saved as an ornament. It was a fun way to celebrate the holidays while bringing together my love of color and my cultural heritage!
