FORBIDDEN FRUIT
Menu design, logo design, print design.
Forbidden Fruit is a fun, modern, and creative reclamation of the relationship between the LGBTQ+ community and the Christian bible. The concept of Forbidden Fruit is that it is a community-based, extravagant bar and drag dinner theatre.

Matchbox
To combine the modern with the historical, the edgy with the traditional, I decided to look upon gothic architecture as inspiration for the abstract shapes, and I combined this with traditional biblical artwork. The gothic shapes also led me to create the logo, a mirrored “F” that creates an eaten apple at the bottom.
The main menu resembles a traditional theatre that opens from the front, and the bar menu resembles a curtain that pulls upwards. As an extra item, I created a matchbox, highlighting the importance of community, by it being a collectible and shareable item.
This project won the "Best Design" award in my Graphic Design III class.
