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.

Week 9

 This image is really creative, fun, and informative! It has great typeface combinations, and very successful colors that make it easy on the eye and the brain. I like the layout and simple shapes that make it easy to follow and understand.

This image is a mood board that I found on Pintrest. Since this will definitely be a part of my future career, I was very interested to see an example of one. There are examples of the colors, type, and images that a client may want to see before a project is put together.

Week 8

 

The layouts that are shown in this image are really creative and original. Since we were working  with grids for our poster designs recently, I found these interesting to look at. The varying typefaces and different positions of type keep things interesting and draw in the viewer. I was especially drawn in by the bright and fun colors, which can really stand out against a wall if you are trying to capture people's attention.
