In the Mexican culture there is no family meeting without “botanas” or what can be referred to as the typical Mexican snacks or junk food. Even though junk food may have a bad connotation, this custom plays a huge part in the culture. Whether it is for a match of fútbol, watching a film or simply playing a few rounds of lotería; botanas are always present for everyone to enjoy and have a good time.

Some of the favorites have been selected and this book focuses on critiquing their packaging by categorizing them as good, bad or ugly. The critiques are based on the elements and principles of design. This French-fold book itself is a representation of the Mexican culture with a lot of bright colors and flavors. I decided to make a French-fold book because the pages mimic the way chip bags look and they are opened.
