Movie Warning Placemats

This Cinematic Placemat Design Advises Diners About the Food They Eat

— November 28, 2015 — Art & Design
If you would consider yourself a big movie buff, then you need this placemat design for your kitchen. Available from Meninos, the Cinema Placemat comes in two styles that both resemble the viewer warning screen that comes up before the film begins. This includes a green mat that reads "The following meal has been approved for all audiences" and a blue one that is rated R for high cholesterol. The latter also calls for an accompanying medic or personal trainer. This plays off similarly worded messages at the movies.

The deceptive placemat design is perfect for people who prefer to eat in front of the television and don't want to spill their dinner on the table.
Trend Themes
1. Cinematic-inspired Products - Designing products that mimic elements of the movie industry, such as viewer warning screens, can attract movie enthusiasts and cater to their interests.
2. Interactive Dining Experiences - Creating dining experiences that engage customers through unique and playful design elements, like warning placemats, can enhance their enjoyment and satisfaction.
3. Humorous Food Accessories - Developing funny and quirky accessories, like placemats with humorous messages, can add a playful touch to everyday dining and potentially become a popular trend.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The home decor industry can capitalize on the demand for cinematic-inspired products by offering a range of themed items, including placemats.
2. Restaurants and Hospitality - Restaurants and hospitality businesses can incorporate interactive dining experiences, such as providing unique placemats, to differentiate themselves and attract customers.
3. Gift and Novelty - The gift and novelty industry can tap into the market for humorous food accessories by creating and selling a variety of amusing dining-related products, like funny placemats.
