It’s been a year since I started working on Breckenridge Magazine, so yea… I think it’s about time to post some work from it. The major design change made is the cover. I’ve given it a more updated look. With some creative freedom, I also had some fun with the features. Here’s a few samples. To see more, please visit http://breckmag.com.

This is a limited Hello Kitty box of chocolates brought back from Japan. I love the packaging and all the little details put into it. It’s so cute and adorable I don’t know if I can bring myself to eat them!

I posted about the new Starbucks logo back in January and for those who have been waiting at the edge of their seat, it is finally here! I wasn’t really keen on the idea at first, but from looking at these pics my friend took for me, I actually don’t mind it! Looks like they changed up the sleeve as well to reflect the new logo.

Austin Gypsy Picnic Trailer Food Festival

November 7, 2010Shelley Lai4 Comments

I checked out the Austin Gypsy Picnic Trailer Food Festival this weekend and was able to try out a few places. The weather was clear and sunny, lots of families, dogs, live music, and even story reading for the kids! The trailers were set up like how they’re located within the city and there were large street signs to indicate what area you’re in. It was also really cool seeing all the different trailer designs. The lines got quite long by noon so it took on average about 45 mins to get your food. I was able to try out three different trailers: Chi’ Lantro BBQ, Jalopy, Turf N Surf Po’ Boys. I was pretty pleased with all three. My favorites were the Kim Chi fries w/chicken from Chi’ Lantro BBQ, and the mango taco from Jalopy.
