The objective of this assignment was to produce a highly conceptual piece for a current event issue or a news article. The subject I chose was the "Chocolate Shortage". I thought it was a unique topic of interest, and the media frenzy over it was quite entertaining, with such headlines as "Dark Days Ahead" or "The Race to Save The World's Chocolate", which inspired my conceptualization.

Final Conceptual Image: The world, encased in chocolate, is melting, showing how
chocolate is running out and also referencing "Global Warming" |

Exploring an alternate idea based on time and an hourglass. The concept was to make a cacao fruit into the shape
of an hourglass, where there are limited cacao beans left to make chocolate, just "time running out" for chocolate. |
