Assignment # 19: Research and Inspiration

Colors that would be advisable to use for Ted's Hot Wings would be red, orange, or yellow (Essentially, the warm colors). Red should be a predominant color in the logo since it is said to stimulate hunger and attract people to a restaurant. Using a color scheme consisting of warm colors is also advisable since hot wings themselves appear to be these colors.

Visual hierarchy for business card:

1. Logo that represents wings
2. The title 'Ted's Hot Wings'
3. Employee name
4. Title
5. Contact info such as phone/fax number, e-mail/company/web address. 

This picture is good because it uses red, a color said to stimulate hunger.

This picture is inspirational because it actually helps the target audience visualize the title of the restaurant.

This picture is also good because it establishes a theme of fire that could be used in a restaurant that focuses on hot wings. After all, barbecue and hot wings have things in common.



Letterhead/envelope research:

All of the following images are decent inspiration since they all incorporate a repeating element such as a swirl or a common picture like a fountain. Another interesting feature that some of them feature is a design that is slightly transparent in the white space of the letterhead.
