Edible Illustration Update

Finally posted all of my recent assignments for Edible Illustration up to the class blog, which is now available to the public, I believe :"D So check it out - everybody's doing really fabulous work!

My thesis is coming along, although I haven't posted on my thesis blog in a while. But there will be a final post when I'm finished in a couple weeks, haha. Although I think I might nix the separate blog for next semester, and just post everything here instead.

Edible Illustration: Station North Restaurant Guidebook

So these are my illustrations for a restaurant guidebook that the graphic design students will be working on. We were each assigned a specific restaurant to review and illustrate, and were also required to do a cover and a map of the area, plotting all of the restaurants reviewed in the book (about 18, I think.)

Cover

On the Hill Cafe - exterior

On the Hill Cafe - interior

Map

All in all I am pleased with the results, although mostly I'm just glad to have that over and done with so I can turn my attention back to thesis again.

Illustrating the Edible

So for Illustrating the Edible, we're working on a guidebook of good, affordable restaurants in the area, which is really awesome. I'm excited for this project anyway, and I was lucky enough to receive a restaurant assignment that was nearby and to my taste. Bonus, right?

Well, I've got all of the information for On the Hill Cafe, plus some personal recommendations (both my friends and I enjoyed what we had ordered). I took reference photos while I was there, outside, inside (we sat inside, so there are more interior shots), of our food.

So, here are some of the better photos taken in the restaurant:

I really love the colors of the restaurant: there's something very warm and inviting about them, and the menu written in colored chalk is lighthearted and pleasant. The atmosphere is very easy, very casual. The staff was lovely and the service was good.

All in all it was wonderful - I really can't believe I have lived a block away from On the Hill for three years and never bothered to give it a shot.
