I came across this design that runs across the page, this simple line drawing is what could be placed around the Refectory, using iconic buildings in dunstable or interesting shapes in analogous colours could brighten up the Refectory. 

Creative Logo

The John Lewis Logo.

John Lewis 

John Lewis is a chain of high based upmarket  department Stores operating in Great Britain. The chain is owned by the John Lewis Partnership, their product range form hot and cold foods to furniture and clothing. 

The Logo is simple and shows maturity and Class. You can see the line icons and then if you look at the text it looks like the text are created the line icon above, they have been curved into letters. The hole thing is reversed and it stands out, the logo can be put onto any surface in any size.

I think the John Lewis logo is a excellent example of a creative logo. The logo icon or symbol can be placed to create an non stop pattern alone surfaces, this is smart because John Lewis an place their corporate identity on their product packaging or on on deliverer trucks. this gave me an idea of how the Refectory could adapted this style and have pattern around the walls. 

in relation to my Artist of influence post. having a simple line ling drawing that going around the Refectory will look interesting and would make the place look more spacious.

Examples of Menus

This may to over packed with information and may hurt your eyes. the colour layout is good and it has a link with the company's colours.

I think this menu is simple and it works, the green and yellow work well together, they are next to each other on the colour wheel. the black bounces off the sheet because of the yellow background.

I don't like this menu just green on a white background looks boring, however it's been but in a table, this shows the business ts organised and mature 

Apple - IT and Computers 

Wasted Youth - Fashion Label 

Disney - mass media corporation

ASDA - Supermarket 

All of the logos above are from different companies that produce different products and services, Each logo is different and has a unique touch to represent the company, for example Disney's logo is in script this shows its friendly and the style looks playful. 

The Apple logo is in chrome and had shine, this represents all their products as being high quality and look good too.  

Logos need to say something about the company, because the company's name could be forgotten but the logo could help customers remember. A logo need to be visible for far and should be able to be shrunk do to fit on flyers, posers or company shirts. 

Cafe Logos

Starbucks Coffee 

Starbucks Coffee is an American global coffee company. Starbucks serve hot and cold beverages, including  instant coffee, full-leaf teas, pastries, and snacks. Starbucks i a big coffee franchise whit sorts across the UK China and Europe.

Costa Coffee 

Costa Coffee is a British coffeehouse company. It is the second largest coffeehouse chain in the world behind Starbucks. Its the largest coffeehouse in the United Kingdom.

Colour Theory Expirations

Complementary colours Blue & Orange

Analogous colour pattern 

This pattern was created on adobe Photo Shop.  To create this Analogous green and yellow was chosen as they sit next to each other on the colour wheel. for the background i added black to the green, this becomes the accent colour. it makes the first colour the dominant colour it stands out, the second colour the supports the first and then the third colour accents the two.

Artist of influence

http://man-e-toys.com/about/

I ran into the blog which posts steer art and i thought they are fun and quirky. My client said she would like to have a fun and quirky design around her Refectory. i am not sure of the artist that did this illustrations but they are very interesting designs.


This design catches my eyes immediately. the bold lines dose make it stand out the different shades of pink are real bright.




The colour on this illustration will fit in with the one in the Refectory, it may be interesting playing with shades of red so se how it could complement the colour in the Refectory. this pattern in a apple green will complement the colour currently used in the Refectory.


I really like this illustration,  van imagine it along the Refectory walls. the text could be made up of the slogan or the new name of the. The negative spacing in the painting is at an equal amount it dose not draw your eyes or make it hard to read.
