THAIPHOON.

THAIPHOON is the name of a fashionable Azia oriented restaurant in Roermond. They asked me to do something special for the younger guests. A placemat and a menucard. The first thing they came up with was this: :We're called Thaiphoon so lets do a whirlwind with arms and legs." A boring idea of course and I proposed to give it a bit more thought. "That's why we come to you." was the answer. I started googeling for Thailand and the first presentationsketches I came up with were these.



They liked the boy and the idea to make him a little kickboxer. He even has his own special move. It's called THE THAIPHOON. He turns around so fast that he looks like a little whirlwind with arms and legs. Great idea. ;-)
The gold did not fit the atmosphere of the restaurant so we lost that.



The idea of the placemat was to put little riddles on it. How many bricks in this stack? How many birds in the leaves? Find the ten differences. Riddles for kids.



Here's the final version. The open spaces are kept free to put the texts in.
Do click the picture to enlarge. It's worth it.

And the illustrations I did for the menucard. I tried to give the whole thing a bit of a story here. Thaiphoon jr lives in the jungle with his elephant K.O. He is training to be a kickboxing champion.
