Giovanni’s Room
CLIENT: GIOVANNI’S ROOM
Giovanni’s Room was an Italian, Family-run, Aperitivo restaurant that unfortunately didn’t survive the pandemic. I wanted to utilise my skills and expertise as both a designer and as an artist to create a library of illustrated assets that could have been used across print, digital advertising and social. As the restaurant didn’t survive, the project was designed as a case study for other small businesses to portray how illustration and animation can be utilised to create an online presence. I had initially only planned to spend a short period of time on the project but enjoyed designing, hand-painting and animating the assets so much that I found myself dipping in and out of the project throughout the most part of 2021. I plan to use the assets from the project to design my own range of kitchen and tableware.

Aperitivo and Drinks Colour Palette
The original restaurant had a yellow facade and yellow accents throughout the dining area. I decided to use the same yellow as the hero colour throughout the project and created a complimentary colour palette that differed from the traditional Sicilian designs. Below - assets created for social.
