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.

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.
