Brand Development for Jia Yuan Restaurant
A local Chinese Restaurant was opened in St.Catharines. I decided to visit and try the food and realized the new owner didn’t have a clear brand identity and was in need of new sign, menus, and business cards. The owner was a great client and I had a lovely time working with him to create his new branding. Here you can see the signage, menu, and several drafts and final design for the business card.

The designs had o be vector, as well as only utilize 4 spot colour each. This posed a tricky situation for creating a full colour illustration but I found colours that would suit all my needs by varying the colour percentages.
