My son Ché is dressing up as a box of Honey Nut Chérios this year for Halloween. My wife and I have figured out how to physically build the cereal box he will be wearing (materials, plans, etc.). This is a single use costume customized for him. We need help with graphic implementation, and here’s our idea. The back will be bid out separately from the other sides. This project is for front, both sides, and the top. Familiarity with cereal boxes is essential -- familiarity with American cereal boxes is helpful. TIMING: Very fast turn around. We need this finished Thurs Oct 23 at noon. It will likely require one broad iteration and then a second very minor iteration. I am available to review proofs within an hour from 7 am to 10 pm Eastern (New York) time. DELIVERABLES: High resolution files, both native photoshop and pdf. BOX SIZE: Front and back are 20” tall x 9” wide. This results in a ratio that is different than that of a typical cereal box, but he is who he is. Sides are 9” wide by 10” tall of the box (instead of 20”) because his arms need to stick out of the top 10” of the sides of the box. The top of the box only has the leftmost 2” and the rightmost 2” of the 9” of width (think: shoulder pads) because he has a head. FRONT Simple photoshop of the front of the honey nut cheerios box, so that (a) it fits the 20x9 ratio, and (b) has “Chérios” instead of “Cheerios”. Note the accent over the e. We have an image of the box to alter. SIDE 1 Ingredients/nutritional information. The sample on the attached box is quite old; modern ones look like this: [login to view URL]~/media/Images/Responsibility/Health_and_wellness/Images/[login to view URL] [login to view URL] Note the ratio is really different. It's OK to put some padding on the left and right margins to make the rectangle feel right-sized. The layout and font should be in the spirit of the examples above, but won't be a perfect match of course. Unlike FRONT this does not require altering an existing image -- it can be made from scratch so long as the look and feel is very close to one of the two URLS immediately above. The text is below, and much shorter than a real box. Note that the "hugs and kisses" is a formula that looks like [login to view URL] except that there should be a superscript to the right of the 0 with a plus sign.

Like SIDE 1 this is a new design from scratch, not an alteration. Colors should match FRONT. The copy should be as below and be centered. The pic of bee should be a Honey Nut Cheerios honeybee. Text: The Sweet Life [pic of bee] Life has been fun but we didn't know just how sweet it could get. Then along came this little bee. TOP It should have an expiration date of Oct 31 2014 and a Box Tops for Education label, [login to view URL] but should be pretty simple otherwise. Again, of the 9” of width, the middle 5” are removed. Here’s a basic view of a top. [login to view URL]
