Food camp design:
‘The Food Camp would be a place for survivors to gather and have fun, as well as eat their post apocalyptic rations. A food truck would serve dinner through a canteen style opening, and various tables would provide a place to eat.’

Process:
My first sketch included the food truck (adapted from an RV) with a sheet of metal placed across the top, providing extra shelter for cooks. An oven with a large pot of gruel sat outside, with several makeshift metal chimneys attached. Tables and fairy lights help create a welcoming atmosphere for survivors and families to get together and build morale.
I began blocking in the colours, making sure to focus on the oranges of the food camp colour pallet. I moved the bins to the back so the smell wouldn’t disturb the food (an extremely important addition).
I added highlights and texture to the camp, making sure to consider where the light would hit surfaces, which surfaces may be charred from cooking smoke, and where rust could form. I kept the tables looking relatively clean to prevent the spread of disease and sickness to survivors (again a very important consideration!).
Finished design:
The final design added lamps, lights, fire, steam, bowls, cups, bottles, utensils, and a big sign saying FOOD – in case the survivors couldn’t figure it out on their own. These additions helped to make the camp feel lived in and functioning.
I am really pleased with this design, I love the warm energy and soul it provides to the survivor camp. Other camps serve a serious purpose for the camp, but this one is more of a place for people to relax and forget about their troubles for the moment.
