Design
Notes: This was a new design for the schools which were getting renovated. The food group to be represented for this counter was clear as could be. Grains: whole wheat, rice, pasta, etc. The earthy colors of this food group gets a rich red background to whet the appetite and pull you in. The larger than life representation of the food items compliment the fruits displayed on the neighboring counter.
Commission
Notes: This commission entailed the
design and execution of five themes to identify the various
food stations at the Crystal River High School cafeteria in Florida.
It was an impressive remodeling project with longevity
in mind. While much planning
went into "function", "form" was by no means forgotten.
Providing an inviting place to eat was certainly a big
part of the mix.
Instead
of permanent traditional signage, there are themed decorative
mosaic panels running the length of the counters. The look
of each of the stations informs you of the type of
food being served, leaving the exact menus flexible.
I congratulate the vision of the Citrus County School Board. All of the students and faculty of Crystal River High School will be able to benefit from this investment in their school for years to come. I was proud to be a part of this project. |
