Appethaizing Restuarant - Use of mellow colors for a sophisticate appeal

Today a few of my co-workers and I went to a Thai restaurant for lunch. When I went into the restaurant the first thing I noticed was the layout of the restaurant. Its use of mellow colors really makes every element of the restaurant blend well together. Although in this picture it shows there is carpet, they've replaced it with some sort of tile that blends well.

The place setting has uses such contrast in colors that it really does prepare you for the food to come. The food was excellent to top it off.

Lastly, since we are responsible for designing logos this week, I thought I would post the restaurants logo.

I have to say that the Thai in appethaizing was a cool idea. It sells the company perfectly. I would probably have used a different color for the text though because it sort of looks faddish.. I am not too thrilled about the orange background. Lastly, with the pepper underneath the wording, it sort of looks like a pizzahut logo.

  1. This is actually one of my three favorite restaurants! My first trip was about 4 years ago, and what caught my attention then was the layout of my food on the plate. I had definitely seen "pretty" food before, but this was my first experience receiving a plate of food, and realizing that the elements had been arranged on the plate in such a way as to be aesthetically pleasing! That meal (which was also insanely delicious by the way) single-handedly changed the way I think about design, and was when I started to become mindful of design in everyday life.
