Concept Development

The concept for ThaiBox was inspired by the bold flavors and street-style energy of Thai cuisine, aiming to reflect the brand’s adventurous and contemporary character. The visual identity took cues from urban street food culture, with vibrant colors, striking typography, and graphic elements that evoke a sense of excitement and dynamism.

The design process began with the exploration of visual metaphors—such as “boxed meals” and “street-side vibrancy”—to create a distinctive and memorable experience. Key components included:

Moodboard creation to define the look and feel: gritty textures, neon-inspired color palettes, and urban photography.
Typography exploration that mimics the expressive and loud tone of street signage.
A focus on expressive layout and visual hierarchy, where each section feels like a fresh bite of Thai culture—fun, flavorful, and fast-paced.

This concept direction helped set the tone for the rest of the design and successfully communicated the energy and uniqueness of the ThaiBox brand.
