My inspiration for the back of this design actually came from pharmaceutical packaging, which is very clear and to the point. But I wanted to add something unexpected to it. As I was thinking, I noticed a candy wrapper on my desk (I have a sweet tooth), and had a lightbulb moment! So it was colourful packaging that inspired the patterned back you see on this design.
