Hākari is a collaborative event organized by two Communication Design students, which showcased the stories of Otago food producers such as Havoc Pork, Ocho Chocolate, and Robertsons Butchery.
Held on October 27th, 2022 at Otago Polytechnic, this ticketed event immersed attendees in street food experiences, videography, and design installations, all while emphasizing the use of local ingredients from our featured suppliers. In collaboration with the Polytechnics Food Design Institute and Art School we were able to encapsulate a strong connection between design and kai.
My role in this project was to lead all creative, film and photography. I was in charge of a group of 10 photographers from the art school, who took pictures and video case studies of the local producers to meet my style guidelines. While I created branding, tickets, social content, posters, and promotional content and got the event set up.
I was then nominated into the New Zealand Best Design awards for my graphic work in this project. I was a finalist in the Student Graphics section.
