Description I know, I know...does Valentine's Day ever end with this girl? I don't think I made this many love-related pictures even when I was a love-sick teen.

This was for a project in my Packaging Graphics class, redesigning cardboard packaging for a childrens' product. I had some Sweethearts laying around the house, so I decided, 'heck, I don't have to go BUY anything...good enough.'
The first version of this (which you can see here, if you want your eyes to bleed-- [link] ) was done without references and came out too light and overall I hated it and was just going to default to my other idea ([link] ) but a lot of people seemed to really like the picture...so I figured I might as well re-do it and do it right. I'm much happier with it this time around.

(If you want to see the final box layout, it's here: [link] )

So clever - and the palette here is awesome. It doesn't look washed out on my monitor, it looks like you kept to the pastels of the heart candy

Thank you so much, and yay! My old monitors were dreadful and no where near a correct calibration, so I was really unsure.

there's a difference on dA sometimes - the appearance of the deviation, I mean. It can drive people nuts. Occasionally things do look 'washed out' here, but not with this one

Now if only Hershey's Kisses grew like that. And they're the perfect shape for hanging off of a stem.

Actually, I rather like this one. But I can't wait to see you do something that has nothing to do with Valentines day!

HAHA! Me too! I have other plans, I do...just ended up with a lot of V-day related projects this year.

I've really been hoping to have time to do something...even just a little fun something...for St. Patty's day, 'cause that's my birthday and I feel like, if any holiday gets my attention, it should be Halloween. But after that, St. Patty's.
