Final Draft Photo #2 PSU


As you go inside you notice a cafeteria line, it is similar to that of a middle school and the neon lights draw people in to order food. In this picture you see the cafeteria where you order your food and get drinks as well. The guy in the maroon is in line behind another guy even though you can’t see him. There are more guys then girls in all these pictures probably because it is not a normal mealtime and typically boys eat more throughout the day then girls do. There are a lot of racks and displays of various drinks and snacks, including bags of candy most likely for Halloween. All around are different marketing techniques and brands trying to convince you to pick up their product. The guy in the black shirt looks lost or like he is waiting for someone. The neon lights above the food counter make it look like a mall food court. This food area is just a typical cafeteria-style eatery and seems to be kind of boring. None of the students look very lively or happy it is almost a little depressing. The artwork and counters look like they are from the eighties and probably are. If this cafeteria had some more exciting features I think it would enhance the feeling of the space to be more inviting and positive.   On the wall there is a very outdated small TV I’m guessing that it shows what they are serving each day. The Halloween decorations are kind of pathetic as well, but at least they tried to make it a little more exciting. This whole space does not give off a very healthy vibe but an outdated diner. Most of the people that come to the PSU are freshmen from the surrounding dorms. I think this might be why it is not a priority for remodeling. The neon sign is reminiscent of a fast food chain and I doubt the food is any healthier than that. It is very interesting that our school is so willing to spend tons of money on a new rec center that promotes health but continues to serve this kind of food. No matter how long you work out those chicken strips served here are definitely going to contradict it.
