The Hershey Palace of Chocolate Delights
This project was conceived as part of a school assignment - a promotional illustration to showcase tours to the Hershey factory. The tour would take the visitors to the source for all of Hershey’s products - a chocolate heaven for chocolate lovers.
The Taj Mahal was created in an attempt to depict a heavenly abode - inspired by religious scriptures. It also is a popular landmark that attracts millions of tourists. The Hershey Palace is built from those ideals - that it is a fitting place for chocolate lovers to seek solace and it has the pull of a popular tourist destination for that demographic.
Details
Hershey's Kisses are an iconic product, and form an integral part of the design elements.
The pattern is heavily influenced by Turkish Tezhip traditional art - an art style that alludes to the heavenly gardens described by religious scripts.
The original floral elements in the patterns were substituted by Hershey's Kisses - the product of focus in this piece.
The rich and frothy rivers of chocolate are a reference to Quranic texts describing heaven with gushing rivers of milk and honey.
