Brief 3 GBK Final Boards
& design development



/





Summary


/


i feel as though I worked that hardest on this brief.  From it I wanted to achieve a good range that like Brief 2 Colgate demonstrated how I can be given content and do something functional but new and interesting in the format and deliverables that go with it.  The menu acted as a large focus point to this brief.  It dictated the tone to the rest of the range.  I don't think that this is a bad thing to find something that makes you excited and then reflect that onto other things.  


I am pleased with the aesthetic of the main menu.  I think that it is a nice thing to have in my portfolio and has demonstrated a massive improvement in awareness of format wand what can be done with it.  I feel I have a healthy range but still understand that there could have been a lot more too.  i am also pleased with the way that I am able to settle for something simpler and rely on that, rather than dressing something up un necessarily.  This is shown with the takeaway range.  I feel as though I created a simple but solid concept of using the burger imagery as a real USP to the whole restaurant.


I have said that I would have liked to have expanded the range even further but there are also smaller details that I would have changed too.  For example, the type on the brown burger plate in the menu is unacceptable as you can't see the type properly!  Also, I should have collaborated with an interior design student to get a greater impression of what it could all look like in context.  However, I think that my mock ups on the boards are an improvement of ones I have made before.


In all, I am fond of this brief.  I have put the most thought in to it and I hope that pays off in the conceptual responses that I have achieved.

Thinking about hand in

/

I made the bill on the right and thought this might be a good shout for hand in.  I will make it a delivery order.

A check up of range for photographing

/

I wanted to check where I was with the amount of work and deliverables.  The colgate is missing toys and the books are missing book ends and posters




I PUT TOGETHER SOME OF MY TO DO LISTS

GBK BURGER SAUCE

/

I want to create a GBK Table sauce to be at the POS and to be able to be bought and taken away.  I think I'd like to wrap it in a similar way to the takeaway burgers-ie tracing paper Esc.  I need to be printing this to decide fully (friday).

Finally got to laser cut! 


 /


Here are the results! Thanks to the helpful staff in woodwork-I have decided to instead of having 2 thin menus-doouble up each layer (below) and have one sheet for the image and one for the type to make it easier to scroll through without having to turn it upside down and what not.  A mock up is at the end.. This will be printed onto sticky back plastic to let the acrylic be the background.


I'm pleased with the outcome-it's just a relieve to have got it done!


I also did some coasters you can see sneaking into one of the pictures.  These are just acrylic fillings.. like a slice of cheese.  I still need to do the place mats but these will be similar to the coasters but have the detail of the menu.

Not so good mock ups 

/

Mocking up the interior is hard!  I need help!
 




 I thought about making the cutlery but I tried mocking them up first,  I am pleased with the result but I would like the real things to photograph in context..

Big print job

/

After some deliberation I think that the burger prints are best digitally coloured and to leave the logo as the hand coloured.  It is a good middle section to link the matt perspex and the hand drawn type.
