I was originally was torn between Mutton Quad and Not Just Fleurons briefs but after researching into typographical meaning and coming across the phase widows and orphans. I knew that it would make a perfect restaurant name.
I thought I would have found this brief simpler to the YO Sushi branding but it was quite different. As i had to do alot of research into themed restaurants, inspiring typography and i had to also look into the whole background of my name and style. I found I was able to do more sketching first, rather than straight drawing on a mac in this brief also.
Having developed and finished my logo for my restaurant, I then researched menu layouts and typographic stylings. I found this helpful, as the past menu I designed wasn't to any grid systems because of the pyramid shape. I also decided to do a history booklet for customers to read. Basically explaining the theory behind the name, the restaurant aims and feel that the owners want to betray across the there customers.
After this I found it quite easy I was just applying my logo to plates, cutlery, napkins, uniforms etc.
Overall I am very pleased with all my outcomes for the Mutton Quad brief. The logo is clean but sophisticated and this flows throughout my menu, history booklet to my napkin. I think the use of a light sans serif typeface in my logo mixed with a classic serif typeface, baskerville, brings out the classy look i was aiming for. I wasn't sure at first with the typeface choose, as I haven't mixed two typefaces that far apart in style before.

Interior of my restaurant
The restaurant aim is to provide traditional british food in a classy minalist setting. Everyone likes tradtional food. The problem is it tends to be only served in grotty pubs with mish mash furniture and sticky carpets.
So, me and my husband have tried to create a up market atmosphere within our restaurant. With a minalist black and white colour scheme, clean logo design, using the ampersand within the interior design, on the wallpaper, cultery and plates etc.
