My favorite place that we have visited so far in London has to be Oxford. We took a day trip and traveled by train to Oxford University where one of our teacher's John Mackey guided us around the campus and town. The buildings were so remarkable because of the detailed architecture and their overall size. There were also a number of vast, green lawns that were stunning. In the heart of the town there was a pub that was tucked away behind some buildings. My friends and I went to grab a bite to eat and we sat on their beautiful outdoor patio. I ordered a fresh summer salad and we also ordered a pitcher of Pimms for all of us to enjoy and escape the heat. Just outside the bar there were a few chalk signs that advertised the different drinks that they offered inside. The one sign that I loved was one titled "G is for Gin." The sign was so captivating and creative. They applied contrast to their sign by having an assortment of different types as opposed to just one singular type. This strategy caught my attention and drew my eyes to the message. Some of the fonts were serifs, some were sans serifs, and some were even script and decorative fonts. This sign so far is my favorite that I have seen and the pub didn't possess the typical pub vibe that comes along with most pubs. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and thought that I was eating at a restaurant that you would find on Pinterest.
