Moksha Restaurant Branding

I'm working on the branding for a restaurant 'Moksha' based around the Hindu belief of the four 'purusartha' (human purposes) needed to be achieved to exit the reincarnation cycle.

Each of the purusartha (Kama, Dharma, Artha and Moksha) are represented by a different menu.

Here is the first draft for 'KAMA'. For each menu, I have researched a Hindu deity to reflect Kama, Dharma, Artha or Moksha.

Kama (love, emotional and sexual pleasure) is the luxury foods menu, and features Kamadeva, the Hindu god of human love and desire.

Papercut Fun

RADA Summer Course

Last week I did one of RADA's week long technical summer schools in Set and  Costume Design.

Here are a few of the things I did in the week. The script we were working on was an adaptation by Carol Ann Duffy of 'The Magic Table' by the Brothers Grimm.

Scale Model Characters

My box set. This is VERY rough! We only had one day to make this. My adaptation of the play was Indian themed. There are two upper levels, and a revolving Indian patterned floor on the lower stage level.

Rough Storyboard

Scene breakdown of the play, with notes on props, costume, lighting and sound.

Character Development

Quite a lot of the processes involved are very similar to things that I have learnt in Illustration, so you would probably get a bit more out of it straight from A level. It was definitely worth it though, and I still learnt a lot! I didn't manage to get any pictures, but the scenic art  and props departments made some amazing work during the week aswell.
