YCN Competition - Graze re-brand



The task for this competition was to completely re-brand 'Graze' who deliver snack boxes full of healthy treats to customers all over the UK.

I decided on a 4 seasons theme for the inside lid of the box designs. A series of boxes for customers to collect throughout the year. Each box features an illustrated landscape scene and foods appropriate to that particular season.
This image is the proposed new design for the outside of the 'graze' box.
