Fruit Bandit – Branding and Research
Spring 2013 |
Research Design Project to ideate the branding and business of a pedal powered bike smoothie for a low-income area in Mexico. The project incorporated design an marketing of the street level bike smoothie, which not only distributed pedal powered smoothies but informed the public on the need for exercise and health eating. As a team we also developed the larger business model that included bicycle manufacture, lending, and sale of smoothies.
My primary focus was on the branding and visual of the project.
