Design | Concept

Captain Jack's is a concept design based on the popular film: The Pirates of the Caribbean. The idea was inspired the movie, however, I wanted to take this popular franchise and reimagine it as a modern day themed restaurant.

Goals

  1. Design a logo and branding for menu design
  2. Wireframe and plan print layout
  3. Integrate established style and appropriate imagery

Research

My search for inspiration took a unique route for this project. Instead of referring to other designs, I focused on patterns, textures, scenes, and of course one of my favorite movies: Pirates of the Caribbean.

Keyword Hunt

The keywords that would guide my search as I assembled my board included the following:

  • Rope
  • Treasure Chest
  • Mermaids
  • Telescopes
  • Swords
  • Parrot
  • Barrel
  • Flags
  • Ships
  • Skulls
  • Rum
  • Coins/Gold

Finalizing the Style

My goal for the final design was to resemble an open map with the menu items placed among treasure trails. The front and back cover showcases a ripped flag, revealing the "map" underneath.
