Café Flåten

Posted on 27th April 201728th April 2018 by NiniSG

During November and December 2015, and May and June 2016, another student in my class and I made design for a café called Café Flåten which is located in a shopping center named Amfi Os in Os, Norway. They serve different kind of sandwiches, warm dishes (many of them based on Norwegian traditional food), varm drinks and ice cream. Most of the people who eats here are locals and especially the elders. After that it’s mostly families with children. Also it tend to come visitors from other towns around sometimes, such as people from Bergen.

The first time we worked with them they wanted new design to their logo and to the catering menu. They wanted their logo be traditional, but a in bit modern way and be welcoming.

We followed their request and the logo ended up like this:

The symbol we made is ment to look like a waffle. That is because it’s very common to get on traditional Norwegian places and it can at the same time look like an element from the patterns on Norwegian traditional clothing. Also, since all the hearts in the waffle meet in the middle, it can also symbolise that it connects people and is a meeting place.
We chose the type you see on the logo because it suits the cosy and welcoming concept and looks somehow homemade and traditional and compliments the symbol. The colours we chose it brown and more like cream to give a comfortable and cosy look and suits the location as well.

To the catering meny, we made it so it still matched with the logo and chose fonts who were easy and comfortable to read. And this is how it looks like:

During the second time we worked with them, they requested a website, new design to their menus and also pictures of several of their meals so they could use it to eventually promote their food and also to post on social media such as facebook and instagram.

They wanted a website so more people can get to know them and make it easier to have more information about them. We included information about the café, contact information and also the menus. We focused on that we would make a website who still had the same kind of colours as the logo and previous catering menu and to make the feeling of the website welcoming and warm to make people get the vibe of the café.

To their menus, we focused on having a design quite similar to the catering menus, except this time, the also wanted to add the allergens to their menus (which we also added to the menu on the website). And this is how they look like:

For the pictures they requested, we wanted the pictures to make the food look appealing and delicious. We took pictures of several meals, especially the ones the sell the most of:

STAUT

Posted on 27th February 2017 by NiniSG

The autumn of 2016 we got a school project about making a logo, a profile manual, website template, a powerpoint template and business card for a company from Voss named STAUT*AS. The work mainly with team building for companies through arranging meetings and different activities in the Voss area since that’s very they are placed.

Since they work with different kind of companies I chose men and women between 25 and 60 as my target group since most of this people are done with education and has a job. Beside are people in this age more likely to have the spirit and energy for the different kind of activities STAUT make arrangement for.

I wanted to make a logo who could communicate that they work make people do teamwork better and also get closer and connect. This is the result of my logo:

The symbol connects in anyway wherever the lines goes and the name of company is easy to so that it is easy to know their name.

For the website template I tried to make in a way so that it’s not to many buttons click on, but still have a clear and understandable website for those who check it out.

This is a little bit of the website template. I chose to use a lot of pictures to give the people who visit a feeling of how it is to be with STAUT and what they can offer.

Here is also something from how the powerpoint template looks like. I wanted to link the design a lot to how it is on the website as well so it’s easy to see it is the same company you are in contact with and so it will give the same feel.

For the profile manual I also wanted to give a lot of the same feel, just more informative about STAUT, so here is some of pages from the manual:

Also, this is how the card looks like in a picture who the website as well on an iPad:

Festival Design – MJAU

Posted on 7th February 201728th April 2018 by NiniSG

For our exam before Christmas 2016, we got a task about making design for a festival and we could chose which kind of festival we wanted.

I decided I wanted to make design for a cat festival. The content in the program is a lot about cats as a internet phenomenon, but also as an animal we love and how we treat it.
The main target group for this festival is families with older children (around 8-19 years).
Even though people in all ages watch cats on the internet, the younger generation are often more into an experienced with the internet and social media. Also other cat-lovers are a part of the second target group.

The festival is called MJAU, which means Meow in english. It is a short, but easy name to remember, so that people can remember the festival easier and suits the concept since it’s about cats

The festival would’ve been supposed to include fan meetings with celeb cats, lectures and discussions about cats.

The logo and the rest of the concept is based on being simple, but playful through the use of illustration and colours. The cat is only the cathead in the logo, but in connection with other events during the festival, it’s possible to different accessories and other items to the icon, so it can describe the happening or other information.

Beside the logo, I made a poster, festival program, wristbands and also t-shirt design:
