Abstract
Through my work, I explore fun posters, and inviting packaging for various products including fast food. I am hoping to connect local fast-food restaurants with people who understand the experience of packaging design and appreciate playful work created for the client’s restaurant. My work focuses on creating a dynamic design through the use of color in a way that connects both with consumers and local food workers, managers and restaurant owners. Through a color palette composed mainly of primary colors, I want to connect with a wide audience using characters in video games. In my presentation, I will be showcasing visual work that I produced including posters, packaging design and my website, focusing particularly on my self-initiated project. This includes food packaging items, as well as a video game character development. Through these projects, I developed skills in mockup design, and Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign software. During this symposium, I am preparing an exhibition that will include a focused project highlighting fast food & Sonic the Hedgehog, a Japanese video game character. The work will be displayed as fast food packaging for burgers and fries and a promotional poster. My goal is to create a nostalgic experience in a family friendly environment. This body of work reflects my growth as a graphic designer by exploring the feeling of nostalgia and fun places for people to reflect upon their past and recreate the fun times with their families, including commemorating special occasions. Ultimately, my goal as a graphic designer is to create work that incorporates a sense of fun and play and to create a space that is welcoming for everyone.
