I am designing the website for a new restaurant.

All that I have to go on is the design on the marquee. There are no other design elements in place at the restaurant, the interior is still being built out, the menu is still being worked out, the owner is cussing me out.

(Ok I made that last bit up).

But seriously. I have a graphic that is black and white, contains the restaurants name and the image of a longhorn. I know that it is going to be steak and seafood. Mainly steak. And upscale.

Thats it. Thats my design outline. From this I must create a thing of beauty.

Bloody hell!

I put together a mock-up design and presented it to the owner this morning to get his thoughts on it. Overall, not too bad… he wants bells and whistles, but he didn’t mind the majority of the design (so far).

One thing he did axe though was this:

Ah well.
