Production Technology
Designed in Adobe illustration, printed on letter size poster paper. Implemented on all kinds of social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Website.
Design Challenge
Gong cha design lab learned that consumers like pairing sweet desserts with tea and pairing food like pizza or noodles with milk tea. The challenge is to showcase many different kinds of food with drinks without overwhelming the audience visually. After a few rounds of sketch and iteration, the best solutions are to use illustration to present different food categories, using real photos to show visual contrast.
Research
Gong cha design lab spearheads the design research, ideation, execution, and implementation. The designer started from research articles and blogs online, conducted three 1-on-1 interviews and online surveys, and based on the interview data I learned that many foodies love pairing different kinds of food with different kinds of drinks. A deeper understanding of consumers ' eating habits helps develop the concept for the "Support small business" campaign.
Inspiration
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many small businesses have had negative monetary impacts. These businesses require support which in-turn supports the local economy. During these unprecedented times, Gong Cha is making an attempt to support the local restaurants in the community.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2020 in San Francisco and the "Support Small Business advertising campaign" finished in November 2020 in California.
Operation Flow
Gong Cha California collaborates with many local mom-and-pop restaurants as well as local food chain brands like poke-bowl, and Ike's sandwiches in California. The three months "Support small business campaign" poster was posted in all the California stores, local restaurants, and on all the social media platforms.
