Mexout
Mexout is a fresh-mex eatery in Singapore. We imagine Mexout to be a young eccentric Mexican food expert, or "Mex'pert" as we've coined it, who is living in his parents' basement. The shop's interior is therefore styled as such. As with most eccentric experts, he keeps a wall-of-clues with a Mexican map and pins of locations to track down the freshest ingredients and their suppliers.
Being anti-establishment, Mexout doesn't adopt the proper brand logo. Every time you see the name it appears differently. We've came up with about 20 hand-drawn logos for them to use in rotation. For the rest of their collaterals, everything is handwritten or hand-drawn. No computer was used for the creation of the graphics. 2013 Art Direction, Branding, Interior Design -
The Sicilian
The Sicilian is an old-style Italian restaurant located in New South Wales, Australia. As the brand name suggests, the design borrows heavily from the gentlemen's style of 1940's gangster films. We imagine this to be a place where mafia bosses patronise. The typography of the logo is inspired by engravings on firearms.

Lucha Loco
Meet Lucha Loco, Singapore's first Mexican taqueria which meets two critical needs in your life - gourmet Mexican street food and crazy Mexican wrestling. We set out to design the brand by not designing much. Our objective was to make everything look raw and natural as though the bar has existed forever. The namecards mimic vintage wrestling trading cards.

Balzac Brasserie
Identity design for a authentic French restaurant in Singapore. Concept of the brand is based loosely on French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac. A quill and inkwell make up the icon of the logo. We handpicked a few of Balzac's amusing quotes, those with references to food and beverages, and placed them around the interior of the restaurant in appropriate typographical treatment. We've also created a couple of posters inspired by Balzac's novels to play up the concept.

Violet Oon's Kitchen
One of Singapore's leading food gurus, Violet Oon is known as much for her cooking as for her opinions on food. She's considered a leading authority on Asian cuisine and her own speciality is the Nonya cuisine of Singapore. Her reputation as a chef and food specialist spans the international arena and she often represents Singapore as a food Ambassador abroad.
We were tasked to relaunch the Violet Oon's brand in the form of a new restaurant. We set out to create something modern and relevant for Singapore's competitive and vibrant food scene, at the same time retaining the Peranakan's classicism. 2012 Art Direction, Branding, Typography -

To keep production cost low, we print 1 colour (black) on multi-coloured stocks.
