My life has been full of graphic design class these past few weeks. I ended up dropping my ceramics class. Once I started the design class I knew right away that my heart would be there.
We've learned letterpress and typography, kerning and serifs, and now we are designing logos for a restaurant using adobe illustrator. My initial mock up is pictured here. It's just a rough work-up...I want to refine the font and of course straighten it all up. The Lemon Drop Lounge, Southern food with a twist.
We will be designing menus too! It's so fun!!
Our oldest son just flew in from Chicago. He and his two buddies from school are enjoying our unseasonably warm weather here in California. It's over 80 degrees today and they headed for Laguna Beach. (Chicago is only in the 30's today.) What a treat to have a house full of boys!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend. And I will share more of my project in the upcoming weeks over on my sister blog.
I wondered if you time was being consumed by "school" :) I've missed your posts. Your graphics are looking good. Now if you can just come up with the recipes to go with the menue I'll be all set! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the logo...I would indeed be intrigued to try this restaurant! Your clean, stylized design aesthetic shines through...kudos my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamera and Sheree!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost done with the menu too. I
was given the type of restaurant by my instructor:serene, southern, nightclub. And then I get to build off that information.
