Botanical Packaging Illustrator Needed

# Botanical Packaging Illustrator Needed – Premium Chocolate Tasting Box We're looking for a talented illustrator to create a premium botanical illustration for a luxury chocolate tasting box. This is not a simple packaging design project. We're specifically looking for someone with a strong artistic eye, experience in botanical or luxury illustration, and the ability to translate a creative direction into something unique and refined. ## Project The project is for a new DelReY Chocolate Tasting Box. The box contains 9 chocolates in a 3x3 tasting grid, each linked to a specific wine flavour profile. The illustration should support the tasting experience while maintaining a premium, elegant and artisanal feel. ## Creative Direction We've gathered several references that the client responded very positively to and will share these with shortlisted candidates. Some key elements they liked: * Organic, flowing botanical branches * One continuous composition rather than separate illustrations * Cocoa pods integrated throughout the design * Elegant and refined luxury feeling * Slightly simplified illustration style suitable for print * Coloured cocoa pods combined with more monochrome branches and leaves * Rich natural cocoa colours (warm yellows, reds, burgundy, soft pinks) * A composition that visually connects the front, back and side panels of the packaging Important: We are **not** looking for someone to copy references. We're looking for your interpretation of the creative direction and your ability to elevate the concept. Creativity is extremely important for this project. ## Deliverables * Packaging illustration artwork * Print-ready files * Front and back artwork that visually connect as one botanical story * Optional continuation onto the side panel ## What We'd Like To Know When applying, please include: 1. Relevant portfolio examples (especially botanical, luxury, packaging or illustration work) 2. Your estimated timeline 3. Your estimated budget 4. How you would personally approach this project 5. Any technical considerations you would take into account regarding print size and illustration detail We're looking for someone who can contribute creatively and not simply execute instructions. Looking forward to seeing your work.
