Congratulations to seventh graders, Emma S. and Emma B.
who came in 2nd place at the Tech Fair yesterday! Your hard work has
really paid off. The Graphic Design category was very competitive this
year. Despite the fact that we were edged out for the win by Penn
Alexander, we are proud to say that we have made major strides since
last year's honorable mention! Can't wait to see what they come up with for next year!

Our Guidelines:
Graphic Design
Graphic Design is the process and art of combining text and graphics
to communicate an effective message through the design of logos,
graphics, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and any other type of
visual communication. Put your imagination and design skills to the
test to establish your own restaurant complete with its own brand!
The Challenge:
Your challenge is to create a fictitious restaurant and develop its
unique identity through graphic design. Projects submitted in the
Graphic Design category require the following:
- Restaurant Logo: The logo will be the main identifying
factor for your restaurant and will affect how the rest of your
marketing materials will look and feel. It should be something that
represents your restaurant concept and can be adapted to multiple types
of media. To clearly distinguish your logo, it should be displayed
separately on a stand-alone print copy.
- Restaurant Menu: A restaurant menu design is a
reflection of the restaurant itself. Restaurant menu descriptions,
layouts and colors, and font choice whether formal, casual or playful,
should match your restaurant concept, location or theme. Menu items
should be realistic and templates should not be used.
- Other Marketing Materials: Your project must also
include at least one other branded item that would be used in your
restaurant such as business cards, letterhead, coupons, promotional
displays, signs, aprons, etc.

Describe
the project’s objectives, vision and/or overall purpose. Why did you choose your topic? What kind of
effect do you want to have on your audience?
Our
restaurant, Dressin’ Up, is aimed to not only be a salad bar, but to include
greens and veggies and so forth. We choose this topic for a few reasons. Our
first reason was because it is kind of rare to hear of a restaurant that
features fashion related food items, let alone a salad bar. It is our hope that
this trendy theme would draw the attention of younger kids and teenagers as
well as to encourage healthy eating. We,
ourselves, have never said “Mommy I want to go to the salad bar down the
street!” But now, with our restaurant, we hope to change this type of thinking
and continue to encourage our generation and the next not all take-out or
fast-food type of meals need to be un-healthy in order to be good.
Salad is healthy, pizza is not.
Salad is nutritious, cheese steaks are not. See? We aim to bring a new spark of
life to the human eye. For our audience, we want to encourage them to eat
healthy but also have fun doing it.
Why did we choose this topic?
Because one day, we learned in health that more and more each day, more
citizens are becoming obese. Each day people are eating pizza, doughnuts,
potato chips, etc. but with this unique idea of a salad bar and beyond, how can
people still get unhealthily fat? We see our restaurant as a new era of eating
happy and healthy.
