Process

Solution

I developed a playful retro direction and drew the custom spaghetti illustration. I chose nostalgic colors and typography, then applied them across the logo, menus, packaging, and promotional designs.

The custom spaghetti illustration, retro typography, and color palette carry across the logo, menus, packaging, and promotional designs, giving the food truck a consistent identity. The project received a Scholastic Gold Key in Graphic Design.
