Overview and Objectives


During my Graphic Design Internship at Peter and Paul I was set a brief to design my take on Marias Brand identity.


Maria is a restaurant based in Sheffield inspired by Italian trattorias and southern European cooking, and is named after Ronnie’s grandmother, whose influence can be felt through the venue’s ethos.



Challenges


  • Developing a distinctive brand symbol that felt relevant to trattoria but unique and personal was challenging.

  • Creating a cohesive visual system and making sure the illustrations and graphics connected to the brandmark.


Responsibilities

Logo development, visual direction exploration, brand strategy.


Roles

Junior Design intern at Peter and Paul
