Ahhh, the French…bakery. This charming Chicago bake shop opened in 2008 and needed a simple, welcoming website. The idea was: French/rustic but also urban/sophisticated. The background pattern and overall texture of the site were inspired by some vintage French grain sacks I saw on eBay. (It turns out people pay crazy money for old flour bags. Who knew?) This was a fun project in that I got to create a repeating pattern and take photos of delicious food in addition to the usual web design + code stuff. I might have also gotten a free scone or two out of the deal.
