There are plenty of bright colours being splashed on every unpainted surface of the interior of the North Star suite of the Hazelnut Inn. Some are just undercoats, while others are the beginnings of the base colours. A few are starting to be blends. And one can start to get a glimpse of how marvellous it will be when it is finished. But it is very difficult to see at the moment with all of the scaffold frames and planks in the way. Over the next few days, as the painters slowly work their way down from the top that will begin to change. Stay tuned for much, much more…
MMMM!
One of my favourite treats is a delicious, freshly baked cinnamon bun - especially if it is still warm from the oven. When it came time to design a sign for a facility that sells just such wares I was inspired by recent memories of enjoying that treat. As I drew I imagined the smell and taste of this delicacy. The bracket was designed of necessity and is pure function. As I thought about the name of the establishment I could only come up with one idea. MMMM!
Sticking with a larger-than-life story
A few days ago I posted a concept of a larger-than-life feature that served the purpose of ‘shrinking’ guests to about six inches tall. As we develop this theme park ideas we’ve been exploring many other fun ideas and attractions. The possibilities are truly endless. To be consistent we also have to apply this idea to key buildings which is a little tougher challenge. One of the buildings under consideration is the information/first aid station which will be in a central location. We wanted to keep things fun and light-hearted but have it instantly recognizable - without actually having to read a sign. A kid’s colourful, doctor’s kit provided the inspiration and instantly cured our dilemma.
