HAI- mindmap/scribbles/font options

 

Materials/textures: Stained rice paper? Wood-Bamboo-tree bark.

Colours- subtle, light, pastel-ish. Watercolour. 

 Continuous theme: Contrast of the elements.

I think I will use the circled symbols as a watermark on the middle of each page, or in some form. Also these are the different fonts I've found may work.

Totally time spent for mind map ideas and fonts: 35 mins

HAI! Research

For DMA234 we have a creative project to design a asian menu.
So far I have been doing research and looking for inspiration. Here is a link to my image spark account. It has some photos that I am looking to for inspiration.

http://www.imgspark.com/image/listing/naomileblanc/

For some reason my account is being temper mental. So I will post some of the other photos here until image spark wants to behave itself.

Here is my original soy sauce painting from last semester.

 

After researching a bit. I was most inspired by the architecture and plants. So far my idea is to combine the straight edges and stability of man made  structures and the natural elements of plants. Straight lines and boxes. Cherry blossoms, orchids,trees maybe water. 

I really like the screen dividers. I think I will want my menu to imitate one of those. and combine the structure of the buildings. With the flower images for contrast.

I will post a mind map soon to show more of my thinking process.

Total time doing research,brainstorming and uploading pics: 45 mins

Minskoa- Final Poster Option

Final:

I did not go with the building pictures. They just weren't working. So instead I took the colour scheme ideas and adventure aspects of my initial ideas. 

 

 This is the original photo I used. It's picture I took of a path at High Park. For the poster I used three layers of the photo using the difference blending mode. which muted the colours except for the different pink shades.

Another idea I was playing around with. Not completely finished. I felt like it was missing something.
