A Fresh Rebrand

USC Hospitality has reached out to Auxiliary Services for a rebrand that properly reflects Seeds' updated menu of fresh and organic selections. We showcased the retailer's new, vibrant identity through interior layout rennovations, playful murals and signage, and colorful imagery.

Murals

The murals we chose for Seeds' interior walls consisted of fruits, vegetables, and other items found in their newly updated menus. We worked with rennovators to fill the upper walls with food and ingredients found in Seeds' menus.

Menus & Signage

We opted for a lightweight, cardboard material for its ease of replacement and low printing costs. Each menu was affixed to large metal boards which were, in turn, attached to metal rods affixed to the surrounding walls and ceilings.

Online Orders

The Mobile Order app allows USC students and staff to purchase food from vendors and retailers across the campus. I created a series of UX and UI mobile updates to streamline Seeds' ordering experience, giving consumers expanded details on their orders and reorganizing payment options for quicker purchases and food reward claims.
