Things are getting done! + New printer

We are halfway through our second trimester with this project and things are all coming together and we are starting to get things done. This week we have completed our menu and style guide, they are all done and going to be set up for print.

On a side note we have found another printer instead of the one we've been using. Previously we were using FC Productions, but we feel that the are a little bit unreliable and a bit slow with replies. Also they are in the process of moving their office so we are afraid there might be some delays in our printing. It was fortunate that Jaz asked someone from her work and they could do the printing for us and the turnaround is a lot quicker and we feel that they were more reliable. Although the price is a bit more expensive but we feel that security and assurance of our work and the turnaround is our number one priority at the moment. So all our stationery items, menu and style guide is ready to go for our first round of printing. Here is what the menus look like,

Main Menu

Specials Menu (which will be stuck inside the main menu)

Drinks Menu 

They are separate pages since we are using a clipboard.

For the packaging, we still need more time, but we are more relaxed about it because with these new printers they can print all our things within a few hours so we feel we have more time to work and we aren't as rushed as before to try and get our stuff out to print. After our lecturer looked at our packaging, we were told it wasn't part of the L&P package and basically it didn't look like any of the other stuff we have done, because we used too much black and everything was so dark. It kind of veered away from our fresh and bright feel that we have. So at this point with the packaging we know everything works, it's just the design work that needs a bit of tweaking. Since Delvin and Jaz have finished with their menus and style guides one of us will help Dut with it.

The new printers can also print burger wrappers so we will be getting that designed soon as it will be really fast since we will just have our pattern on it.

We also decided to have packaging for our style guide, after talking to our lecturer we thought that having some sort of packaging for our style guide will show more care on our part for the style guide. Like, we aren't just creating a style guide just as is because we have to but we want to show that we care about it and in a way, make it better than it could be and bring it that extra step further. So we are going to create a packaging which is like a little box for the style guide and a drawer like system where the style guide will be pulled out from the box.
