China Express Food Outlet Design in a Shopping Mall

Food Outlet Design Hand Sketches

China Express is Chinese food outlet in Phoenix Market City, Pune. The requirement was to create interesting wall graphics, posters, menu cards and create the overall ambience of the outlet look fascinating and attractive for customers walking by. 

Initial Scenario

The outlet had graphics with low clarity and distorted design language, food photographs pixelated, text which was not readable from a distance and overall green color which did not attract the customers to come for Chinese food.

Design Intend

The design idea was to take inspiration from the Chinese culture and create interesting graphics and artworks which could create an impact on the customer looking for Chinese food in the mall.

Design and Strategy

Food items were segregated and photographed to create posters on walls. The graphic design language was well thought through and developed in a way that all the highlighting features are visible from the walking passage of the mall.

The strategy of the client to run the outlet was understood and the content of the posters and their arrangement in the outlet were planned accordingly.

The front wall shows the combo packs which is supposed to be high selling food items. The side walls consist of other food items which were also on high selling list like Sizzlers, Spring Rolls etc to attract the people entering the Mall. The alignment of posters was kept high to increase the visibility. The typography used is bold and easy to read from distance. Color language was thought through to keep contrast.

Typography of Logo

The typography with a splash of juice above letter ‘S’ with straw was developed in a way so that it could become the brand element which was then used on menu cards, T-shirts and other brand products.
