From First Bite to Fridge Idol
8Bite Animated Food
Feeding Fandom Through Design
8Bite started as a playful concept for a meal delivery brand offering recipes pulled straight from TV shows and video games. The goal was to create an immersive food experience for fans while standing out in a fridge full of takeout. The idea caught the eye of a Korean ramen pop-up owner in DTC, turning the concept into a real-world activation. I transformed the brand for a limited-run food truck experience, blending high-contrast packaging, nostalgic visuals, and a bold identity that paid tribute to fan culture. Every visual decision from the donut “8” logo to signage and to-go containers was designed to feel fun, fresh, and familiar to fandom-loving foodies.

The concept development process.
After auditing over ten meal kit brands like Blue Apron and Home Chef, it was clear the competition leaned into soft earth tones and homey comfort. That wasn't our vibe. This concept needed noise. Inspired by meals from TV shows and video games, I created a brand that fused digital fandom with bold, punchy food design. Rounded type and playful layouts captured the hands-on joy of cooking, while high-contrast visuals were crafted to dominate the fridge shelf. It wasn’t built to blend in. It was made to be found.

Colors inspired by the energy of a late night that is gaming.
The 8Bite color palette was built to punch through the static. Inspired by pixel grit, snack aisles, and screen glow, hues like RAM Razz, Frostbyte, Night Sky, and Static Meringue were chosen to stand out like a save point in the chaos. Each color delivers attitude, contrast, and a hit of nostalgia—designed to make every package feel like loot worth showing off in the fridge.
