Background information
Summary
Our restaurant is expanding, and we've far outgrown the wretchedness that is our website now. Our new locations all are being designed with a modern, retro, chill, cool feel. We'd like our website to represent this same look and feel. Winner will be added onto the "Friends of Shabu" pages as a designer, free marketing for you!

Description
Our first restaurant opened over 11 years ago, but now we are opening up 2 more in the next 4 months and an additional 3 in the next year. The new locations have all been designed with a very retro/modern feel, mixed in with some Japanese influence.
We're all in our early 30's and looking to expand on our lounge space, so we're looking to design our site in a much more up-to-date look and feel. Also, we are looking at local artists in our area to provide revolving artwork for our spaces.
We want a home page that we can utilize as a template and a locations page. We do not need any Flash, just an eye-catching website that is sleek but in no way gimmicky or gawdy.
To get a feel about our personality, please visit us at:
The following website:
http://www.kurasushi.com/store/cost…index.html
is clean, but the menu is hideous and the colors are a little too Nickelodeon for us, a little too bright and cheery. We don't want depressing, but we don't want Rainbow Brite either.
Our target audience is a young, hip, artistic crowd that loves to eat and drink.
Everything in PSD format, please. You can grab some files (logo, font, photos in jpeg format, etc.) here:

We realize we aren't giving you so many photos to work with, but you can use them as placeholders for now and we can change the images later.
Smoochies,
Len

Final files
You will be required to provide either a PNG or a JPG file. Please check with the client to see if they have a preference.
If you use fonts that require a license, confirm with the client they're ok with it. For licensing reasons, it is better to provide your client with information on how to acquire the font rather than providing the actual files.
