Graphic Design and Photography
We designed the Lost In Taste menu on Canva from Day 0. I knew from experience how helpful a Canva menu is for a constantly evolving restaurant, so this was a perfect fit for them.
The staff at Lost In Taste has done a great job adhering to the styling queues I created in the first template, and I’m always impressed with what they are able to add and change while sticking to all the design principles we put in place for them.
We also designed the logo, branding, and website for this business.
After several versions and many price updates, it was finally time to convert Kabuki’s menu to a Canva document they could edit themselves.
When we first created this menu, Canva was not as popular of choice for this kind of thing, so it was done in Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator. This required the owner to pay me every time he needed to change.
After about 10 hours of work, he can now make these changes himself, put part of his marketing budget towards other things, and make price changes to the menu more frequently to keep up with fluctuating food costs.
Squarespace website design for local sports bar and restaurant Lost In Taste. My goal was to echo the creativity the owner put into the brand and his restaurant decor. This is probably one of my favorite client sites, aesthetically. I am a sucker for an excellent dark color scheme and carefully chosen accents. We did all the photography for this project. We also designed the logo & branding for this business.
This client came to me for an 80’s/retro/vaporwave style logo design for a space-themed sports bar in Christiansburg, Virginia right down the road from my CBD store. Not only is this aesthetic is one of my all-time favorites to work with, but the owner also has creative ideas for fleshing out the brand in the near future through story-lines/characters and high-quality branded merchandise.
Since we completed this project we have also designed a Squarespace website for Lost In Taste.
This client came to me for an “emergency” website re-design. Yes, you read that correctly… An emergency!! Direct visits to the website worked as normal, but when you searched for her business on Google and clicked on the listing, you’d be re-directed to a totally different website that had nothing to do with her business. This problem was likely a result of either an outdated or insecure WordPress plug-in. I consulted my colleagues (who are more proficient in WordPress things than I), who agreed with my assessment of the situation. We determined it was easier and faster to start a whole new site from scratch than to try to fix the bug on the existing site.
