After talking to my friends, Hazmi, Ruzana, and Mai earlier today, I started to think of how to make my brand audit of cafes & restaurants in Singapore be more interesting and unique..
In my earlier dictionary list of words, I have the word EDUCATE. I want to educate non-designer people so that they also can have keener eyes on design. As for designers, they can also benefit from the exercise. The reviews gathered online/offline could be used as a reflection and learning opportunity for everyone,
For this Dictionary project, perhaps, it would be good also if I printed some flash cards with questions for someone to be able to pay more attention to the cafe/restaurant’s branding? Possible questions are:
- How does the service make you feel?
- What’s the dominant color of this cafe/restaurant?
- Where can you find the smallest logo applied at?
- … (and 47 more questions variation)
For my FYP, it is a high possibility that I must make an app where people can review the design of a cafe/restaurant brand. At the same time, I will also publish a book containing my interview with cafe/restaurant owners/managers, speaking about their brands..
