I had to make another display board for Farmer’s Pizza and Grill. On this board the client wanted pizza, Buffers, Wings, and Salads to be advertised. I first looked up some good pictures that I could use for the board. I also looked up some good extra words that I can include along with the heading for each type of food. I thought Embellishments were also a good addition, so a line with flags was also included under the headlines of each item.
At first, I made all of the footage spaced out but, Marla decided that it was best to make the pictures as big as possible along with their headlines to fill up the black space on the board. The pizza was of course added to the center because of the restaurant’s name. The pizza also kinda overlaps the burger which I thought was fine.
I was put in charge of creating a postcard for a restaurant called ” EL Mill”. For the first page of the card, I was instructed to add a Mexican/style look to it and I was also told to showcase a new burrito bar there as well. This new bar had recently been created so they wanted that to be the focal point of the front of the postcard. A 2 dollar coupon was also offered to anyone who took the card to the El Mill Restaurant.

On the bottom of the postcard, I had to include some of the additional items that the restaurant offered. Since it is spring I also had to give the bottom of the card a spring feel which is why I added items like flowers, a rainbow, and the caption ” Hello Spring”. The restaurant also serves a signature Lavazza coffee so that was to be advertised in which I included that logo just below the middle image. Overall I like the colorfulness of the postcard and can say this was one of my favorite designs to do.
For this week, also tried out the Sol Lewitt app, which takes the user through the legacy of Sol Lewitt, a famous artist well known for his Minimalist and conceptual art. This app is unique in that it uses features such as Ai to allow the audience to have a deeper look at the creative process of LeWitt.
Home Screen Of app
Bio Section
When you open up the app, you are shown a series of icons. These include icons such wall scanning section, A “mapping Lewitt section, a work theme section, and a virtual studio tour section. Tapping on the “Artist Bio” above allows the user to read a short bio about Sol Lewitt and the influence he has left on the world of art.
In the Mapping Lewitt section, the user can find sites or areas that have scannable artworks from Lewitt, a timeline map of Lewitt and locations that he traveled, and areas where his studio is located. I went to one of his artwork sites on 59th street – Columbas Circle called Curvy and loopy lines and bands. Once you scan the artwork, you are able to explore more information about it and Lewitt’s design process behind that artwork.
Lewitt’s Work Theme Section
Virtual studio tour section
A section about Lewitt’s themes for many of his artworks is also included in the app. The section states that these themes have been used across many of Lewitt’s art mediums such as his wall drawings, paintings, structures printed books, and photographs. there is also a section that allows the user to virtually be in a 3d room using VR technology. The user can turn around 360 degrees in a room and tap on the icon they see to learn more about that object in Lewitt’s studio.
In my opinion, the Sol Lewitt is a great app to learn more about the artist himself and the type of art pieces he made throughout his life. Th use of virtual reality is also a plus and a good way for users to interact with and have a small feel of how it was for Lewitt as an artist and his work process.
