DESIGN NAME: Japanese Food
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Food illustration
INSPIRATION: Eating and drawing are both one of the pleasures that most people enjoy. The inspiration came to me one day as I was looking at a menu in a Japanese restaurant. I noticed most asian kids usually do not take initiative to browse through menus because they look classy and matured, so instead of showcasing food using photography, mine is done in a flash cards style to engage kids to learn about food and the names of their food more efficiently.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: researched on food illustration and what color combinations attract kids the most. The colors used are quite saturated as in my research color may affect a kid's appetite. therefore, complimentary color is used in this series as they appeal very well to kids. The shapes and form of the illustrated food is less realistic and cartoony to enlighten the mood, some subtle grain and textures are added.
