Sayers Food — http://www.sayersfood.com.au

Client: Sayers Food
Design: Speak
Photography: f22 Photography

Sayers food is an amazing cafe and restaurant in Leederville. The 220 offices are just a couple of doors up, making us regulars. Knowing the product so well allowed us to drive the design and feel for the site, and the client loved it!

Grant experimented with a different grid style, using pythagorus and golden ratios, and the result is amazing. The client was also happy to commission a professional photography, and the imagery formed the basis of the colour scheme.

We must thank Mark and Steph at Sayers for letting us do our thing, and trusting us — it allowed us to do our jobs, and the result is a site that we all love.
