Week 11
While looking for inspiration for packaging for our restaurant project, I came across this hand crafted design that had the organic feel that I was looking for. Since my project is a coffee cafe, this was perfect to look at for some ideas. The varied typefaces work well together, and as I have worked with different typefaces in a previous project, I think I may revisit this idea again for the current project. The colors and type are simple, making the design feel unified and economic.

Week 10
Since we are about to begin making logos for our restaurant in class, I found these logo ideas on Pintrest for some inspiration. They are unique, organic, economically simply, and have very popular typography style. I think that the RP logo is especially genius, using what appears to be the shadow of the R to create the second letter of P. It is subtle and interesting.

Poster Inspiration
While deciding on positioning and layout of my poster, these little thumnails gave me a few ideas, and while I didn't use any of these layouts, it got the ball rolling in relation to how I set up my title and text.

These fun and varied types were the beginning of my inspiration to use different types in the title of my poster. I like the organic and casual feel they give, and incorporated a similar feel in my project.
