here are a couple more fun projects i worked on for the lighthouse (you can read about the earlier projects here).
the lighthouse team were really keen on working on a couple of colouring themed projects for their younger audience (and the young at heart). the first was a colouring wall at their recent pop up space for the launch of the depachika food hall, located in nakheel mall. the colouring wall was themed around the various food items found in the lighthouse menu. the final result was a simplistic illustrated presentation of different food items, beverages, ingredients and kitchen utensils for children to colour in. i really liked how the final illustration ended up, given that we worked on a very tight deadline. i hope the explosion of food got the kids excited to colour it all in. i must say, i'm pretty confused with some of the colour choices the kids decided on when colouring certain things in! but i'm glad to see the impressions left by the children on my illustrations.
the second project i worked on is the illustrated placemat at the top of this post. again, the placemats are meant to target a younger audience, which is why the back of the placemat also includes the kids menu. unlike the colouring wall, i didn't want to just illustrate cartoon-like food items, but wanted the overall placemat to look sophisticated, yet fun enough for the kids to colour in. along with including items off the menu, there are also design items that are iconic of the lighthouse, as well as products that can be found in their shop (books, crayons, kitchenware). i'm really happy with how the final placemat turned out, and i hope everyone who pays a visit to the lighthouse enjoys them too.
thank you to the lighthouse team for wanting to work with me on a really great collection of illustrated collateral for the restaurant. i hope we can work together again on more stuff in the near future.
