A twelve-layer dessert, cut down to three colors and one paper backdrop each.

The brief

Halo-halo means mix-mix. The dessert is loud on purpose, and the first feed tried to match it with every color at once. No post could be told apart from the one next to it.

The idea

We cut the palette to three flavors (ube, mango, pandan) and gave each one a paper backdrop. Every photo is shot with direct flash on one of the three, so the grid reads as a pattern from across the room.

The launch grid

Twelve posts, as they sat on the profile on day one. Scroll to step closer.

Details

Evaporated milk poured over shaved ice, the splash frozen by flash on mango yellow
Direct flash freezes the pour. Staff shoot it on a phone with the torch taped to the side.
Twelve small glass cups of layered dessert in a grid on green paper
Three backdrops only. When a post breaks the pattern, it’s because it should.
Typographic post: Ube, again. Set in heavy type on purple
Type posts use the same three colors. They read as part of the pattern, not as ads.

What shipped

Identity, a three-color backdrop system, a flash photography guide for staff, a menu that matches the feed, and the first thirty posts.

After launch

The backdrops live behind the counter. Staff swap the paper by flavor of the day and shoot on their phones between orders.
