This project followed the brief 'Opposites Attract' where I chose to contrast sweet and savoury food, whilst also using contrasting colour palettes, typefaces and textures. This allowed me to create a restaurant that serves weird combinations that people hate admitting that they enjoy!
mishMash serves food that would have otherwise been wasted and encourages customers to continue the fight against food waste at home, after they have eaten at the restaurant.
Food waste is the third largest contributor to climate change, however it is hardly talked about. mishMash wants to change this, we're getting a litter bit tired of it!
By creating fun and engaging design, I wanted to try to attract customers but also teach them a lesson.
These are the menus that I designed to inform customers of the weird and wonderful food combinations that they can enjoy! By separating the pages into two, this emphasis the opposites but brings them together in a meal.
These posters would be placed around the restaurant, giving helpful but fun tips about how to reduce food waste.
These tips could then be applied at home.
To add fun and quirkiness to the cafe, the coasters would include illustrations, that can be paired together to create opposites. Some include illustrations of people and the others include ingredients that are used in some of the meals.
To continue the cafe’s stance on food waste, customers would be given these cards including information on what to do with leftover food or how to reduce this in the first place.
The cafe would have a continuing theme of ‘opposites’ inside, including the monoprints
featured on the menu and contrasting colours throughout the branding.
The posters would be featured on the walls so customers can read about food waste and get tips on how to continue the impact of the cafe.
On the tables would be the menu and coasters that people can use to make their own mish mash. The tables would be half and half with the monoprints to incorporate them from the menu.
