I had to make use of the time between my graduation and the start of the new semester to work. 
I was able to work in service at a patisserie, confiserie and chocolatier for a month. This gave me the experience of what it's like to be employed 100% and work on my own orders at the same time. 

Working in a coffee shop inspired me to experiment with packaging again.

some last thoughts

Even if the designs still have potential and I would have a lot more ideas, you could try out a lot of other things, such projects fulfil their purpose. It gives you the opportunity to simply practise, try things out, perhaps test new formats or material combinations. 

Have fun trying it out!
