A mock brand identity of a modern, fresh, and authentic Vietnamese restaurant. This project was created for a weekly design challenge @designer.briefs on instagram. I choose blues and greens to standout from the widely used reds and yellows used by competitors on the market.

The brand is meant to be fresh, clean, inviting, and authentic to Vietnamese cuisine and culture. All while standing out and being different from other restaurants.

Bee Sweet Blooms is a local, friendly, and welcoming flower shop located in Phoenix, Oregon, a small town in the Rouge Valley.

Joseph's Hot Pepper Sauce, is a mock logo and bottle label design. It was created as a fun passion project for me because I have always wanted to have my own hot sauce brand. This could become reality someday, but for now it is an example of my skills in package design. Hand drawn elements were used in each bottle design to give them all a unique, yet cohesive identity. The bottles are meant to catch the consumers eye on shelves and clearly portray what kind of pepper sauce the consumer is buying.
