Japanese meal

• You may get changed after school ends, OR come in
  uniform, but you wont have long to get changed
  and if youre late we WILL leave you!
• Orders will be taken in advance, either from the
  menus brought in, or the ones online
  http//www.wagamama.com/locations/showlocation/579
  
• If more people are interested than we have places
  for, there may be some sort of competition or
  project to earn your place!
• More details to come!

Design a Manga-Inspired Asian Restaurant

• Competition for people wanting to attend the
  Japanese meal

5
Why have a competition?

• There will be only 15 places available on the
  coach, but more than 15 people want to go, so it
  seems fairest to give those places to the people
  who want them most
• This competition will be judged by a mixed panel
  of staff, who know you and what you are capable
  of not being the best at writing/ drawing/
  designing etc will not stop you from winning! YOU
  ARE BEING JUDGED ON EFFORT!

6
ENTRY REQUIEMENTS

• 1 sample menu
• 1 design for shop layout
• 1 design for staff uniform
• 1 written brief, explaining what sort of
  restaurant you would run, why you have chosen
  that character/show theme, what sort of menu you
  have designed and what sort of customers you
  would hope to attract (max 1 side A4)

7
Character/show theme?

• This is simply what specific manga influence you
  want to use, e.g. Ryu Oki theme could mean
  decorating everything in natural colours and
  using lots of carrot logos
• This is for a real restaurant, so your ideas
  have to be believable!

• You need to look up specific Japanese/ Asian
  foods for your menu, but you can refer to the
  theme, e.g. Ayekas sushi rolls
• If you are not confident about your drawing, see
  me or one of the more experienced Manga Clubbers
  for help with uniform design

8
What do I actually need to make/do

• Menu
• 1 menu, including starters, main courses,
  desserts and drinks you will need to look up
  popular Asian/Japanese foods
• Uniform
• At least 1 uniform, can be male or female, for
  the service staff. MUST BE COLOURED AND LABELLED!

9
What do I actually need to make/do

• RESTAURANT DESIGN
• Either as a plan from above, or in 3D, design a
  main seating area layout, with labels to show
  special features e.g. carrot shaped tables etc
• WRITTEN BRIEF
• This is where you explain
• what your theme is,
• why you have chosen it,
• how your restaurant is special,
• who you think would want to come to it.
• You can add as much detail as you like, but it
  cant be more than 1 side A4!

10
Aaaargh! How could I get started?!

• Brainstorm your favourite characters/ shows
• Which would make the best inspiration for a
  restaurant?
• If those characters were going to a restaurant,
  what would they want to see / do / eat / sit on?
• What sort of people would want to go to that
  restaurant? E.g. a Ryu Oki themed restaurant
  could be very healthy and attract young people,
  or a Sasami restaurant might be good to bring
  kids to, but a Ruyuku restaurant would be a much
  more rock n roll affair!
