THE FOOD CARNIVAL OF
TYBEE ISLAND

Concept for a beachside food festival Created for THED 765: Concept Design, which asked us to design a pop-up event for Tybee Beach.

Once a year, a benevolent yet mischievous wind blows onto Tybee’s shores, bringing with it a fairground full of snacks. But this tricky gale likes to create illusions, which means some food looks like beach accessories, and the beach accessories look like food! Can you tell the difference between donut pastries and donut floaties amidst these tasty treats?

In THED 725: Themed Entertainment Environmental Graphics & Specifications, we were given schematics from Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff, a gift shop in California Adventure, and asked to re-theme its exterior and interior graphics to an IP of our choosing (without regard to the original shop’s surrounding Pixar Pier theming).

I themed my project to Twilight Town, a cozy yet industrial world found in Kingdom Hearts. Sea-salt ice cream is an iconic treat to Kingdom Hearts fans.* Friends often eat it in Twilight Town, yet we never see the shop where they buy the ice cream. Based on my deep dive into Twilight Town’s visual identity , this is my imagining of what that shop would look like.
