“Downend Desi” is my sister’s home catering business in Bristol which specializes in Pakistani cuisine. She asked for a pop-art style with bright 
colours, visual elements that connect to Pakistani culture such as the rikshaw icon. This brand identity package includes a menu (she asked for a digital form which can be easily circulated in her Whatsapp groups), packaging paper for food bags and stickers.
