The Beginning is the End is the Beginning

In our first project of Va 301, we’re gonna create a corporate identity for one of the 3 things we chose in the class which are; a Chinese restaurant, a second hand boutique and a search engine. I began my project with searching some Chinese restaurants to have an idea about what my Chinese restaurant will look like. I decided to create a restaurant which will have a very modern line that can also represent the concept of Far East, so the main color in the restaurant will be red and there will be some Chinese motifs but in a very minimal way. It will be not so luxurious but also not so down at the heels. It will adress mainly the young people. These pictures are the ones which i liked their concepts.

Secondly i searched some boutiques which might give me some opinion about vintage stores. Since i am very interested in vintage clothes, it’s very important for me to create my ideal vintage store. It must be exciting, colorful, energetic, visually well designed and organized. One of the most important thing is looking clean because the main problem in the second hand stores is that they look dirty and smell like they became mouldy. I want to use decorative wallpapers, different types of vitrine models and old fashioned furniteres. Here are the stores that inspires me.

Finally, i looked up for some search engines. I wanna have a search engine that is visually well designed and directly adresses the things people are looking for. The background must have a very plain picture or grapichs according to the concept that doesn’t bother eyes. There might be soft colors and the typography of the site must  have non-serifed font. My search engine will adress art activities like it finds concerts, festivals and museums which people might consider to go.
