Background Imagery

While the main focus of this brief is typography, I do of course need imagery to emphasize & back up my theme. I have created this piece of imagery to place on material I create for the Restaurant, such as menus etc. I think this works well as it nicely reflects & portrays the Roman feel, while not completely straying away from what you'd consider to be a traditional Italian restaurant. Once all my typography is in place, I'm hoping this will serve as "the plate on which my type will be served." (Round of applause please.) I haven't decided yet whether or not to use this imagery on other material such as wine labels etc, but I definitley want to maintain this look as I think it perfectly portrays my theme. I've even incorporated the Latin text that is found at the foot of Trajan's Column, just to reinforce the typography, even within an image.
