Final Draft Photo #3 PSU


Moving on you can find the cashier station. This picture is of two guys paying for what they just got inside the cafeteria. Looks like they are just getting a snack then probably going back to their dorm to hang out. The guys are both dressed in the same way including the backwards hat. There is nobody behind them in line so I am assuming that it is a slow time at the park student union. That also could be why they are just getting a snack instead of more food because it isn’t quite time for a meal. The lady checking them out doesn’t look very happy she is much older then them too. Usually the people I have noticed working in the student unions are younger or a student so I found it interesting that this lady was so old. Behind them on the wall there are Halloween decorations so the workers were obviously trying to make this cafeteria a little more festive and entertaining. Even though it didn’t quite do the trick. This part also looks very cluttered everything is packed together which seems like it could be overwhelming just looking for a quick snack. The only guy with his wallet out is the one on the left so maybe he is buying his friends food as well as his. His friend is staring at something beyond the register. He might be looking at a table with other friends to go sit at. The register and surroundings look very outdated, like they have been there for many years. Behind them there are some people ordering with their arms crossed, and they don’t look very happy to be there. They probably just got out of class since they are wearing backpacks and now need some food before their next class. Again the colors are very boring and one-dimensional. The gate behind the boys almost looks like a jail cell and it very well could be with the scenery surrounding it. By making everything the same shades of one color it doesn’t create a whole lot of visual interest. This sets the mood for how people feel about the space even before they try the food. The space is so cluttered yet so empty and boring at the same time, which is a very odd combination.
