Gothic Grub: Food Truck Branding
Art 115: 2D Design
Gothic Grub is a cohesive brand identity for a food truck. Along with the design for the food truck itself, I also created a menu, business cards, and a social media account to round out the brand. I was interested in how a medieval themed food truck would come together. This also included research for what foods could be considered authentically medieval, making for a truly fleshed-out brand identity.

The case study presentation for AugTag.AugTag is an app prototype that resolves the challenge of providing users a means to share something. It uses Augmented Reality to allow users a way to virtually tag their surroundings without having to deal with the negative stigma around graffiti and street art. I was already interested in using this project to try an AR-related concept, and decided that I could tie it into my heritage as a Portlander, given this city’s robust art culture. I took inspiration from the aesthetic typically referred to as “Grind Fiction” and “Shibuya Punk” for its bold, fun style and love for urbanism and street art to infuse AugTag with energy and love for sharing art with those around us.
