Rice Krispies (also known as Rice Bubbles) is a cereal created by Kellogg's. The cereal dates back to 1927 and consists of crisped "rice" made of a rice and sugar paste that become crunchy and crisp after toasted. When milk is added, the cereal walls collapse, creating the famous "snap, crackle, and pop" sound. These sounds, onomatopoeic noises, differ based on where the cereal is sound. There are several taglines for the cereal including: "Childhood is Calling" & "Moms Just Know". 

For experimentation with typographic form for the first part of the project, I tried to work with as many mediums as possible. This includes: pen, ink, pastel, charcoal, watercolor, computer, and a use of rice krispies themselves. 











Aside from experimentation with typography, I also started to come up with some possible ideas for the arrangement of type on the cereal box. Here are the ideas in thumbnail form:
