During a group crit with Ben he recommended looking at a couple of websites and one was the websites of Sara Fanelli. She does a lot of college work that isn't really want I'm interested in. I do however like her work on the Pizza Express menu. I've recently found a few illustrators that have worked on restaurants menus and branding and have become increasingly interested in the idea of doing this myself. Perhaps I could email her for some advice. I love the hand made aesthetic to this work. Although he work must have been put trough digitally at some stage their is a real hand drawn feel coming through. This is strengthened through the loose, almost rough tone of voice. With the addition of hand written text/font and college, there's an almost strap book feel, giving the menu almost a sense of culture.
In terms of her website, this handmade aesthetic comes through again. I liked the homepage of the website, acting as a introduction before entering the full website. However, the website itself I didn't get on with. Every link and information I click on, it opened up as an image/separate tap. How strange? This was so annoying as whenever I clicked on something new it covered the last tap. Why would she do this? Maybe it's so it pushes the info on to the viewer, in the hope that they're more likely to see it?
