Zubi, The Fun Candy, approached me looking for a traditional, colourful Diwali Gift Box for their premium range of candy. 
The box would go out for sale in grocery stores across India as well as work as corporate Gift Boxes.

They wanted something that would bring out the spirit of Diwali and at the same time be eye-catching and an elegant gift box option. 

I first collected references of Diwali elements, and festive elements that we Indians use to celebrate the Festival of Lights. After that I sketched out a few idea and elements and then went ahead to create the box design.
