Restaurant and food related websites are always inspiring. Elegant layouts and beautiful images are pretty common to this kind of site. Last year we showcased 40 Tasty Restaurant Websites to Inspire You and since then, there have been plenty of good food related websites released. So we decided to gather a fresh list. Once again, you will be able to see beautiful photographs, colorful layouts, and elegant typography. From restaurants to bistros and catering, there are several tasty examples here to please your eyes. Enjoy!

MSLK has had the pleasure of crafting engaging portfolio websites for many artists and artist representatives. The process of hiring creative talent has certainly changed in recent years. Physical books are still wonderful tools to solidify an engagement — once you’ve been short listed for a job, but reviewing printed portfolios has become few and far between. Websites have become the number one sales tool for any business, even creative individuals.

Creative websites needs to grab the attention of busy individuals, place emphasis on the work itself and be easy to navigate. The easier your site is for viewers to use, the more of your work they’ll actually see. Experience has shown that users absorb information in different ways, so it is important to implement multiple methods of navigation into your site in order to tailor to the needs of all user types.

Here at MSLK we’ve identified three unique types of viewers on portfolio sites.

1. Users who are drawn to and click on imagery.
People love pretty pictures. Those who aren’t sure exactly what they want are certain to be swayed by a cool image. Hoping to see more of “that” they’ll surely click on your compelling images again and again. People also naturally gravitate towards clicking on the largest thing on the page. If that’s your imagery, better make sure it is a link to something, hopefully the next image in your book.

2. Users who scroll and click on thumbnails.
In contrast some users know exactly what they want. They aren’t in the mood to be taken on an extended journey through your work. They are more interested in an overall survey and will jump in where they see appropriate. Thumbnails or preview images are very useful for these users. They want to know what’s in store for them before they click.

3. Users who are click happy
Some users dive into your book and then want to plow through it as quickly as possible. These users love to keep their mouse in one spot and will keep clicking till either they’ve seen everything or you frustrate them into leaving. What frustrates these users? Navigation that moves and jumps all around the page.  These users don’t want to have to keep searching for your forward and backward arrows, they want to keep their mouse in one place.

The name of the game is to keep users engaged in your site and make your work easily accessible. Every portfolio site should have multiple methods of navigating the same content in anticipation of the needs of each of these core types of users.

Below are some examples of portfolio sites MSLK has created, all of which follow these strategies.

We are honored that our identity system for the Figment Art Festival has been included in the new compilation, Magic Branding, by DesignerBooks. The book features the best in integrated branding systems from around the world and would make the perfect addition to any designer’s bookshelf. We’ll certainly be putting it on ours and will return to it frequently for inspiration.

To me, the use the word “Magic” in the title is ironic. From the client perspective, the design process certainly may seem to have an element of magic in it. We listen closely to a client’s needs, go back to the studio, wave the magic wand, and presto, out pops a brilliant and intuitive solution! Just kidding…

Our design process is anything but magic, always deep rooted in strategy from the beginning. The process goes more like this: We take client needs and translate them into logical design criteria. As various directions are explored, we edit, refine, edit again, get the client involved at specific stages, and then a purposeful solution emerges. In a more general sense, we like to categorize our process as containing four steps:
1. Challenge
2. Strategy
3. Design
4. Success

To learn more about our process check out Our Process Video.

For Figment, we were asked to create an identity that would capture the creative spirit of their event. The name and participatory nature of the festival made the visual of a thought bubble a natural fit, which would serve as a consistent vessel that could be filled with new content corresponding to each year’s theme. The design solution was extended to promotional materials such as posters, T-shirts, postcards, signage, and a website. The Figment identity has legs, offering endless possibilities for growth, variation and change, but still remains bold and memorable. Perhaps the magic lies in its flexibility.
