Quick Service Restaurant & Soccer Lounge, specializing in Argentine inspire

Mmoon restaurant is a place for soccer fans to watch soccer and eat empanadas. My task was to make ads that emphasis on soccer lounge and empanadas. To make soccer lounge and empanadas into the same design, I used an empanada and a soccer ball combined together to lead into the tagline: “the perfect match”. The placement of the subject is in the middle which catches the audience’s attention. The empanada has a seared smoke on top as if it just came out of an oven. I used red, white and grey for the text because the title really needs to stand out. So red is a good choice because it unifies the title and the important message “watch it together” and it’s also the color for food. The green grass background serves the perfect complementary and it completes the soccer look and feel.

DesignTo spark interests, I made this animated ad where the soccer ball hits the net, score! Goal! And to have a taste of victory. Followed by Soccer lounge in red with grey text of soccer first, family friendly. I then used the color of Argentian’s flag in blue to say “made in Argentina” an actual piece of the empanada is then transformed into the MMOON logo. Finished with address and website information.

My design is taking old computers and other devices and putting them away into a trash can. The message is to let business know that there is a more advanced technology out there. Digital signage. The colors I used are black, greyish blue, and white to create an isolated feel that associates to technology. The layout is clean and simple, with a modern feel of technology. Bringing the focal point of the full can of abandoned computers to the tag line of " A NEW AGE FOR SIGNAGE IS HERE."

In order to better educated the public on digital signage, I used images of digital signs into the ad. The color scheme is white and light blue to keep the overall look to be as simple and clean as possible. The texts are aligned to the left to make it easier for the audience to read. The yellow and white texts on the title and contact info works well together to complete the overall look and feel of clean and simple.
