Final for Java Vino Coffee and Wine House- Menu Redesign

Java Vino's current menu can be seen at www.javavino.com. Then you would need to click on menu. This is their exact menu that they have in their coffee shop. I felt it reallly needs some redesigning as it is just a list of food and drink items they offer. Here is my version of Java Vino's menu. I stuck with the same color scheme but really focused on a way to make sure their menu is more organized and easily read.

Advertisements for Java Vino

Here are the ads I came up with for Java Vino. The tagline I came up with is Wake Up or Wind Down. I decided to use this tagline for both ads but change the secondary tagline on each ad. This first ad reads Wake Up or Wind Down. Early morning or late night, we've got you covered. I wanted to gear more towards the coffee aspects in one ad and then towards wine in the other. The second ad reads Wake UP or Wind Down. A night without wine is like a day without coffee. All photographs were taken by me.

Self Mailer for JavaVino-Inside

Self mailer inside. Right flap is the White wine list and the left flap is the red wine list. The top flap displays the company logo along with address, phone number and website information. The bottom flap is perforated so that the free dessert coupon is easily detachable.

Self Mailer for JavaVino-Outside

Here is the outside of the self mailer unfolded. The brown box is only to represent where a label may be placed. The label may be white, or clear etc.

Self Mailer for JavaVino

For those who are not familiar with the term self mailer, a self mailer is sent in the mail but is designed so that it does not need an envelope. Self mailers may promote a specific event or advertise for their company in general.

I decided to promote a wine tasting event for JavaVino. The piece is an even square in the middle and the flaps fold so that they lock in place. I wanted to keep the same elements in this piece that I used in the stationary. Simple and Elegant. To ensure that people attend and arrive on time, I thought it would be a great idea to include a coupon that would give away a free dessert between 8pm and 9pm since the event starts at 8pm. I also included the red wine list along with the white wine list that would be included in the wine tasting event.

Some of the best ads ever!

These are ads that I think are great in concept and graphic design.

• Here we have an ad for Rubiks Cube. This game/strategic puzzle has been around for years. It is know for being quite difficult to solve. This ad dimenstrates the addiction that people sometims get tryin to solve the rubik's cube. It goes even further to demonstrate this by showing that the guy only has one more square he needs to figure out and at the bottom it says "25 years and still going." The ad is funny and to the point.

Once again we have an ad that is simple and to the point but humorous all at once. We have a truck driver who is delivering bananas and a monkey (who we all know loves bananas) bribing the truck driver with a can of Pepsi.

This is an advertisment about News casting. The camera man uses the woman as his camera. She is in her gown and slippers with rollers in her hair. She represents the typical person in their home who is watching the news. This ad demonstrates how this particular news channel brings the latest news or stories to you as if you are there as the news is happening. Short, sweet, to the point and once again funny!
