Studio: Self - Negotiated - Extended Contextual Research and Development

Following on from research about a new and contemporary Chinese restaurant in the heart of London, I have completed further extended research that enables me to work in the style of working brands, minimalistic and inventive logo design and new and unique restaurant experiences that acquire the same target audience as myself.

Semiotics can also represent the relationship between different messages which is fundamental in creating design that holds context. As a designer, I am always looking for a meaning or context within my work therefore I thought that this Lecture was very interesting to see how other designers underpin these messages within their work.  Signs Signs can be speech, written language, gestures, codes, sounds and objects. To be a sign it must create an emotional or relatable impact. Context is everything; Banksy's work is very effective due to the meaning behind his beautiful graf...
