Find your cravings . . .

I was looking at a previous issue of Print magazine (August 2009) - The Food Issue - and came across Celia Cheng. She founded Cravings. It is a website designed to guide you to restaurants in and around New York. 

She has added other locations to her site since her original "start up." Some of these places include Las Vegas, Houston, Chicago and Charleston.

The first image is at the top of her home page, with the second image below it. Then there are a more images and links with this third image being at the bottom.

The fourth image is an inside page - Who wouldn't want cookies every night?

Yum!

Web Forms . . .

I've been doing some research in preparation (hoping it will help) for the forms on Project 4. I found this site called JotForm and it has some basic guidelines in creating clean attractive web forms. Just thought I would share it with you.

They also have templates, apps, and support. You can design your own forms and upload them, use theirs, etc., etc. There are different pricing levels if you want to use their advanced features. To be honest, I hope I don't have to use forms in the future.

344 - Stefan G. Bucher

I've been on "Delicious" quite a bit lately and have run across some interesting things there. This is the website for 344. 

"344 is a full service design and illustration studio with a wide array of capabilities geared toward... Sweet Lord. Are you bored already? Yeah. Me too. My name is Stefan G. Bucher, and I'm the only one here." 

That is the first paragraph on the "About 344" page of the website. I LOVE it already! His sense of humor is pretty obvious and just keeps getting better.

The "Projects" page is equally funny... "While I tend to advocate for the cheap thrills of 'pretty little pictures', I can't deny the obsessive pleasures of a spreadsheet. Therefore I'm please to offer you all the work on this site in the form of an interactive list." You must check out this site if you enjoy a good sense of humor. 

Notice the banner at the top? That's the links. As you hover over "Projects, Dailymonster.com, About 344, Say Hello and Store" the creature's eye follows you. 

This 3rd image is of the landing page - each image, when you hover, gives another view of the one you are over.

The Daily Monster is great! I'm so jealous! The idea of making something out of an ink blot or tooth brush smudge just amazes me. I'm definitely going to return to this site to check out all of his creatures.

Our food. Your Questions.

Yes, this is McDonald's. Believe it or not, I found a two page spread in Communication Arts (November/December 2013) Advertising Annual 54 covering a website where "people could ask any question about McDondald's food." The ad agency handling this promotion is DDB Canada/Tribal (Toronto, Canada).

As it says, they were allowed to ask anything; and everything was answered. On the site you can choose what category you want to view - Beef, Chicken, Eggs & Dairy, Potato, Ingredients, Nutrition, Produce, Sourcing, Values & Other.

You can read all of the questions & their answers, and if you don't see something that you're curious about, you can ask. Who hasn't wondered what's in a chicken "nugget", or how do you keep the sesame seeds on the buns? The answers to these questions are there; I saw them.

Check it out here and ask a question if you feel like it.
