Entry Essay: 
It is easy to tell when you are reading an issue of restaurant development + design (rd+d) because of the use of color and it’s iconic plus sign, you’re reminded that you’re reading rd+d original content. Weather there is a quote, a sidebar or a drop cap starting off a story, color and font ties the book together.

The design makes use of an easy-to-ready slab serif font that takes advantage of different sizes and weights to guides the reader’s eyes to the most important text on the page. This makes it easy to scan and understand the overall concept of the text, before diving in and reading a story.

Colorful graphics and big and beautiful photography extend the topics in the stories and create a visually pleasant product that readers want to keep on their tabletops at their office or home. The combination of the brand’s colors, fonts and graphics make it unmistakably a rd+d product even at a glance.
