ART 341 - #2

Food truck research

Being a "foodie" myself, I decided to work with the food truck idea. I attend First Fridays in Venice frequently so it's exciting to work with something I have a great appreciation for. Being a waiter at a Thai restaurant for the past two and a half years, I feel like I have great knowledge of Thai food so I decided the truck would feature on-the-go Thai cuisine.

As for the logo, I want to do something that looks modern yet traditional to the Thai culture. I'm thinking about going with warm colors - reds, yellows, orange, maroon, brown, etc. Maybe a hint of a lime green as well. The Thai decor at my work is obviously a big inspiration to start with but I went ahead and googled some images that I thought would be appropriate for this project as well.

Why did you decide to become a graphic designer?

I was always interested in art ever since I was younger. It was one of the few subjects that I consistently did well in or even cared for. I was originally interested in illustration but gradually become more infatuated with graphic design, especially publication and packaging design. Truth is and as cliche as it sounds, I wanted to be an artist sans the "starving" part. I also always wanted to live a creative life surrounded by creative people, so why not choose graphic design? I'm extremely interested in publication and print work. I love doing zine covers and editorial layouts. I haven't really dabbled much in web but I'm almost positive I would enjoy that as well.
