Environmental / Brand Identity
Don Pepe’s Columbia Murals
Creative concepts and large-format compositions shaped around restaurant-supplied subject direction, photographed in the installed dining environment.
01
The Challenge
Develop mural compositions for the restaurant’s interior using supplied names and subject direction, while responding to the proportions and sightlines of the dining room.
02
The Creative Approach
Aaron developed the creative concepts and layouts for the mural compositions, arranging source imagery into panoramic dining-room scenes, Día de los Muertos-inspired portraits, and a character feature wall.
03
The Execution
The installation photographs show the artwork in its restaurant setting, from continuous panoramic walls to individual feature areas. Recognizable third-party characters and source imagery are incorporated into the compositions; their original authorship is not attributed to Aaron. The original portfolio described AI-assisted image reconstruction and compositing within this project.
