3D Presentation

So I'm very very very stumped about the presentation and I'm not 100% what I want to do. The best thing I've thought of so far, that would sort of match Terra, would be to set up the space into an actual small table to eat on. As in... There would be a tablecloth (the only one I could find was this brown-orange color which I guess is close to my color palette,) some silverware that I'm going to wrap in a cloth-napkin followed by a paper slip that will look like a Terra thing, and instead of the plate (since I don't want to carry around a plate) it'll be a menu-looking booklet that will have some of the stuff I worked for Terra throughout this class. How does that sound?

Other things

Oh yeah, here's other things I've done to add to the system app:

website mock ups

This is what I have worked into for my System Apps. I'm also working on some signage too. I'm only doing two screencaps for the website; homepage and the Get Involved page.

I imagined this website to work partially in a Flash style. The homepage starts off simple, and once you click on one of the buttons, a white background extends down from under the picture-banner, and it's where all the information will be presented. The picture banner is then scaled smaller and upwards.

Inspirational Graphic Standards Manual

Not every company/designer makes their Graphic Standards publicly viewable it seems, for I was having a very very hard time finding one that fits Terra (but maybe I've just been looking through the wrong sources.) The closest I've came to it were these:

I can't read German and now that I look at it harder this is probably not a manual but it clearly shows what the restaurant, Mongo's, does and does not do with their logo and image/drawings. They have about three solid colors that are obvious and use throughout their design. 




This one, also foreign to me, has similar graphic traits as to Terra. The have hints of their vibrant colors (green) throughout  many of their products/files.

going

Coaster, mini menu, invitational letter. I won't have the inside pages ready by monday so I'll just have the cover. I'm open for last-minute suggestions. (Oh yeah, and I noticed that the coaster is missing the word "Manager and" in comparison to the letter. I'll fix it.)

Menu

Ok, so I decided to have, total in my business system: The envelope, an invitation letter, a business card that could be used as a coaster, and a mini menu. And I'm almost throwing away the idea of anything using a wood-like material or pattern that I had previously.

This is the cover (right) and back cover (left) of my menu so far.  The left body text right now is just random things I could think of to fill the space but which I might still use. I don't know how I should design the back side text. I decided to include the Terra logo there without the swoosh. 

I might stylize the images to look a bit like paintings as well. We'll see how it'll look soon.
