Intro + Trends

A Bit About Me...

I am a young designer in the last year of my formal education at Auburn University.  I am a Cali girl living in a southern world, what a culture shock!  I have grown so much since moving here and I am so thankful I got to experience a different culture from what I grew up in.

Design is my passion and coming to Auburn University's program has taught me SO much.  However, I still have a lot to learn...  I will share things I see, experience and research along with my thoughts and reflections about different design aspects.  I believe design is everywhere, so whether you are an artist, a photographer, a graphic designer, an architect or an interior designer I hope to interest a realm of people that just love and appreciate design!

Now to the "Trend" part...

My classmates and I were recently assigned a hospitality project for studio in which we had to research for.  (Side note: Never start a project without some research!  Whether it be research about the location, target market, the industry in which you are designing for etc...)  My research was about trends in the hospitality industry and I came across an interesting array of "Themed Restaurants".  Its a debate as to whether this is a good way to go with designing a restaurant.  It can obviously be way over done or can be super successful.  I believe if done right and with moderation it can be a really cool way of bringing in customers and creating more of a dining experience rather than just going somewhere to stuff your face for the heck of it.  Here are some interesting photos of themed restaurants I found for your judgement...




 
Interesting right?
