and…. the Final Design!!! | My Final Nasi Lemak recipe book :)
Food as love, food as culture
This recipe centres around the idea of unfolding to the surprise that is hidden inside, just like how a traditional Nasi Lemak is wrapped in a triangle with banana leaf. Not only my favourite food growing up but it also reminds me a lot of my childhood and the beauty of the Malaysian culture.
I can feel the Malaysian vibe just from looking at your artwork <3
Reflection
Studio 1 was the most interesting part in this semster. In Essential classes, I learned how to complete a design from an idea to the final and how to communicate with the clients. I felt this skill can be very helpful in the future. The core study was all about food in design. I felt very glad that I was in Alex’s class because I do liked the idea of changing food into another object or life. I changed a peach into a woman in this Food Metamorphosis project to show a peach as a nice symbol related to women and beauty. I tried drawings as well as photography. I enjoyed it a lot.
Also, there were some interesting activities in the class, we used clay to make the characters from Kafka’s story , we used vegetables to write.These made me think more creative while doing design. I also enjoyed sharing ideas in the groups and learn things from others. Overall, I felt I’ve improved a lot from this course.
Week 13! FOOD event!!!
In the FOOD event, every group is showing their work. I saw some fantastic design in the exhibition, there are many different types design work like videos, posters, and hand made models. We had a overview of the whole semester design works.
Week 13 Food Festival!
As a cohort we came together to create a very unique exhibition of work. I love how our studio classes were all very different. The ranges of mediums, medias and techniques were astounding! One of my favourite pieces of work was the anti whaling postcard art work. It was absolutely stunning! The gold foiling and the beautiful watercolour tied in so nicely.
The overall experience of this festival was cheery. Everyone was enjoying themselves, discussing art, drinking melted soft serve and basking in the sun.
Conceptually and aesthetically, our cohort really pulled through with incorporating food in all different kinds of ways.

2001: A Space Odyssey
An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship’s computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

-Printed cards-
Also I made a paper box for those cards
Rationale: In Japanese Momo means peach and tarō means eldest son. Momotarō is the Peach Boy hero in Japanese folklore. Stories about Momotarō are extremely popular in Japan. So at the begining, I came with the idea of turning the peach into a boy. But after I did more research about the uses of peaches in today’s world. Clearly, peach is more used to describe something very lovely or wonderful, also, a very lovely and attractive woman. I felt it is a very feminine fruit. So I finally decided to draw a peach to a woman to show the identity. For the painting style, I just used rayon to create a free sense, a bit like children’s drawing. Like Pablo Picasso said “ It took me four years to paint like Rapheal, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” Also, I took some photos of a peach by treating it like a woman to match the theme. Because peach is also requently used to name some parts of the female body, like butt or cheek. So the photos are comparisons between the shape of a peach and a persons behind.
Since my drawings were not as expected, I decided to try some other ways to do the food metamorphosis project while I still continue drawings these cards. As I like taking photos, I treated a peach as a girl and then took some photos of it so that to match the idea of transforming a peach to a girl. This is one of the photos and I tried to use effects in Adobe illustrator.
Definition of peach
1 a :a low spreading freely branching Chinese tree (Prunus persica) of the rose family that has lanceolate leaves and sessile usually pink flowers and is widely cultivated in temperate areas for its edible fruit which is a single-seeded drupe with a hard central stone, a pulpy white or yellow flesh, and a thin fuzzy skin b :the edible fruit of the peach 2 :a moderate yellowish pink 3 :one resembling a peach (as in sweetness, beauty, or excellence)
Peach – Symbolism
Both in China and Japan the peach is associated with immortality and a long life.
It is one of the “Three Blessed Fruits” in Buddhism and symbolizes longevity.
The peach and the rod made from peach wood is also the symbol of Shou. Shou is one of the Three Star Gods; he is the god of longevity.
In Ancient Greece the peach was the sacred fruit of the god of marriage, Hymen. At weddings the guests would chant “O Hymenæus Hymen, O Hyymenæus Hymen”. This was the day the virginal state of the bride ended. Peaches were a symbol of a happy marriage.

Working process
Since I decided to discover the cultural significance and literary value about peach, I felt hard to illustrate. I was decided to represent the Peachboy(Momotaro) story but after Alex told me to do some more research about peaches in today’s world, I suddenly came with a idea to change the traditional peachboy into a female character because obviously peaches are mostly used to describe females. So I’m going to put feminism into my design. For the illustration style, I’ve been trying many ways. I wanted to go with fun styles instead of drawing something perfectly. Need to be more abstract. I’m still not satisfied with my illustration, I’ll do more tests.
Inspiration
Pablo Picasso Jean Cocteau

In this week's workshop. We read Kafka's metamorphosis and then used clay and some model toys to create the characters from that fiction. After that, we did some sketches. I really enjoyed making things like sculpture and it gave me some inspiration for my food metamorphosis project.
Experiencial design
Week 7, lecture 5
In this week’s lecture, we looked at food and design as an experience. Amongst the various work of artists and designers Andy showed us, I particularly liked that of Afghan-American artist Behnaz Babazadeh in her ‘Candy Burqa’ series. In the photographic work, Babazadeh creates burqas out of confectionary items to relate the work back to her own memories of arriving in America mixed with her own religion.
“This series explores the use of materials found in the candy aisle as a means connect the viewer with a memory that the food inspires, rather than the over used symbol of women’s oppression in Afghanistan, the Burka.”

I was absent to this lecture. Great summary! Thanks for reblog!
recommend this Japanese magazine “Idea” what I found in the city library. The number 378 is all about food and design. There are various style of food illustrations as well as photography. Also , if you’re going to the Brunswick library , don’t forget to check “ LUCKY PEACH” , another nice Japanese design magazine of food in design
Twin brothers and designers R&E Praspaliauskas have designed a collection of shoes made of bread.
Called Bread Shoes (of course), the products come in a variety of designs and dough recipes.
Here's what the designers say: That’s right, boys and girls! Put some romance in your “loaf” life!
Every pair is unique and comes with a best suitable, hand-picked cardboard box.
