Advent Calendar – Illustration & Packaging Design

This project is a fully custom Advent calendar that I designed, illustrated, and assembled by hand.
My goal was to recreate the nostalgic charm of traditional Christmas calendars while integrating a personal storytelling approach through illustration, layout, and small hidden details.

The project includes:
• Original illustration (front cover)
• Back panel design with storytelling elements
• Maze puzzle design
• Packaging layout adapted to a chocolate tray
• Manual scoring, cutting, and assembly
• Print production on 350gsm matte paper

This piece allowed me to explore a mix of illustration, packaging design, and craft-based production , from concept to the final physical object.
