Food for thought? (ISTD)

Investigating and exploring the science of food through the production of a research driven publication. Printing processes, finishes and illustration will ultimately inform the design direction. The finished product will be aimed at food enthusiasts distributed within the retail sector Background / Considerations We have arguably a greater than ever proportion of broadcast time and print media devoted to food. Certainly the ration of television programmes is very generous to the point of repletion. Echoed by the range and volume of foods now available to those of us in the First World, we define aspects of culture and societal perception by our relationships with and attitudes to food. Consider how the form and aesthetic of the publication itself informs the content it displays coloured or different textured stocks could represent different foods, for example. How does the typography support the content?
