Cafe Menus Full of Illustration

-

We have just completed new menus for the Wadebridge coffee shop, Caraways. They approached us to re-design their menus to reflect the feel of their friendly cafe.


We kept within their colour scheme of coffee browns, caramels and creams, but added a dusky sky blue. I chose a friendly serif font and filled the pages with my drawings of coffee cups and cakes, sandwiches and salad. The menu took the format of A5 folded with a durable matt finish.


The front page has an illustration of a large cup of steaming hot coffee, with a dotty frame surrounded by a crisp white background. Inside the format has titles, descriptions and prices separated by dotted lines and distinguished by colour and weight. The menu is such an important part of a cafe and we are pleased that Caraways now has something representing them in a fun and relaxed manner.

New Branding for Cornish Fudge Company

Buttermilk Shop wanted a fresh contemporary look for their Cornish fudge company, but essential in the brief was ensuring that their primary market was not alienated during the change. This is a challenge we face with many projects, as the years spent building up a customer base are not to be taken lightly. We came up with a clean typographic solution which could be placed onto different colours to reflect different flavours on the packaging. This is accompanied by a small line drawing, reflecting the Cornish coastline. The vector image is key to the connection between old and new, a crisp modern style of illustration representing the long tradition of Cornish fishing ports where the Buttermilk shops are located.

It carries his brand for the charity bike ride, Riding Out The Recession, where he will be heading from Cornwall to Cape Town.

Make sure you keep an eye on his progress, we will put updates on our blogs and Sean will be both twittering and blogging as he travels.
