FINAL
Color coded system is employed: Magenta = Meal Orange = Snack Turquoise = Drink Purple = Dessert Green = My contributions
Typography and colors are playful, circle panels are decoration when put together, but they also serve as an organizational system when they are separate.
SEMI-FINAL: MOCKUP
Adding color, type (Gil Sans), and image to the modular circles/recipe cards. Also, size of each circle is increase to 9.5" diameter - plate-like size.
EXPLORING ALTERNATIVE STRUCTURES
Specifically: Non-traditional quilting materials. Solution: Paper! Interlocking circle structure takes the win!
I needed to re-think my reasons for choosing a quilt. Keywords: pieced together, communal, sharing, recipe, food, changing. Also, the materiality should, in a way, speak to my community.
WEEK 5 // SKETCHBOOK ITERATIONS
Emphasis on "honeycomb" structures (hexagons) as a way of referencing bee hives. Bee hives represent complex inner-workings and stability - this ties back to themes of family and fusion. I explored the idea of pockets where recipes could be hidden or stored.
However, this was not successful.....at all.
PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE
WEEK 10 25 Iterations of patterns for quilt
WEEK 11 Choose Pattern. Buy materials. Collect 50% of content.
WEEK 12 Collect the rest of content. Cut/Layout pattern & fabric. Begin setting type for recipe cards.
WEEK 13 SEW!!
WEEK 14 SEW!!
WEEK 15 Junior show.
I set a rather ambitious schedule for myself that did not allow any time for refinement. This schedule was scrapped at Week 11.
IDENTIFYING MY AUDIENCE/COMMUNITY
Traditionally, quilts live within communities and have an heirloom quality about them. I chose to use the Junior Graphic Design Class of 2009 as my community. I requested for each student's favorite recipe (drink, snack, meal, or dessert). I created a Facebook event in order to request fellow students' favorite recipes.
VISUAL RESEARCH // QUILTS
I was exploring the idea of family and food. My publication's content was based on fusion food, and I was exploring a new definition of fusion. Quilts are comprised of different patterns and shapes that are pieced together. This draws back to the custom of trading recipes.
VISUAL RESEARCH // SPICE PACKAGING
I researched spice packaging and the spice trade. How can the packaging of spices reflect the history of how they became a part of culture?
VISUAL RESEARCH // STOP-MOTION ANIMATION
I was looking at stop-motion animation that would allow me to explore the relationship between food and emotion. Can food be the "actors" in displaying emotion?
