Picking up where we left off!

So we are back after a bit of a break! Half way through with this project and although we are on track with our timing we still feel like we are behind.

We are now starting on the menu design, that is our main priority for now. While work is ongoing with the website, style guide and packaging.

Style Guide

We will be starting to properly do up the style guide, before we kind of just put in a few bits and pieces into the style guide, but now Jaz is assigned to work on the style guide and starting to put all the information in as it is one of the next things we need to have finished in our timeline.

Menu

So we are starting to come up with Menu concepts. Delvin has been assigned this job. At first it was a bit of a struggle to find a starting point. So we first wrote down the content for the menu, for this we just went online and searched for normal dishes you would find in a restaurant and also adding a few of our own. With all the content finalised, we could start exploring with the layouts. Now, it's just a matter of coming up with different ideas for the layouts.

We also did some research on the theory behind menu design and the psychology behind reading a menu, so we will put that into consideration when designing the layout. 

Packaging

Originally we were going to concentrate on packaging a littler later on, after we've finalise everything for the menu. But after the struggles of finding places to produce our packaging items, we realised we might need to make some of the packaging ourselves and that means learning about die-lines and knife-lines so we know how to create things such as boxes and cardboard carriers. So we thought to get a head start on the packaging side of things and Dut will be taking charge of this.
