Driving the Duotone Diner

Remember that Food Truck Festival poster I made a while back? One of the concepts is back as a sexy two-tone postcard for my Technical Processes class! The entire image is made from nothing more than Pantone Bright Red, Pantone 357 Green, and some various mixes of the two. These colors were picked because they're very common food colors that mix to a nice, healthy brown.

I've always really liked limited palettes, if for no other reason than because there are only so many ways you can solve it. With total creative freedom, there's always the chance that whatever you do, no matter how brilliant, isn't utilizing the full available potential. This is just simpler. And it's lovely.

Food Truck on a Fork

This is my version of the food truck festival that was selected by the group I'm designing for. I kind of like it. The color scheme and visual style is alright.

But honestly, it was my least favorite of the proofs I sent it. It was sort of just thrown together at the last minute because three concepts were requested and I poured all my effort into the previous two (see here and here).

I'm not exactly going to become embittered towards creation-by-committee because of this, it's just not the direction I'd have taken it, is all. Oh well.

Another poster for the upcoming food truck festival. I made another one because the first one seemed too formal for what's essentially a street fair without the carnival rides.

Food Truck or Roast Duck?

A lot of things have been happening recently, but not a lot of them design related. Here's one of the newer ones that is.

I've recently started volunteering for a young professionals organization in exchange for free membership. I'm basically working for exposure at this point, but the exposure is through a group dedicated to networking, so I like my odds.

I don't know if you can tell by the poster, but I'm still waiting on some details about the event.
