Edible Lego blocks aside, licorice allsorts feature some of the candy industry’s most architectural forms. Many allsorts stack together multiple layers of licorice and fondant to create miniature, multi-coloured sandwiches, while others wrap tiny tubes in contrasting coatings to form sugary pilotis. The candy’s more fruit-forward cousin, funsorts , are even more post-modern in appearance.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
