PROCESS
This project started with looking at different kinds of Piaggio Ape carts to decide what kind to model in Blender. I chose the cart that expands up and out to open. I used a brief generator outside of this class to bring unique aspects to include in my design.
My initial 2 concepts were a cart that sells film cameras or bubble tea. Bubble tea won because I wanted to include an asset of the machine that plastic seals the top of boba tea cups.
If I am creating a boba tea cart, I need to create a fictional boba tea company as well. The art deco pattern above and my favorite boba tea flavor, taro, inspired a darker color theme that included purple. The dark colors made me want to lean into a galaxy/space theme where the name speaks to the deliciousness of boba tea.

Logos and graphics for the cart surfaces, menu, and cups were created in Adobe Illustrator.
