Inspiring Creativity in Atlanta

So this was an interesting assignment. I think that it made me think in a completely different way about how to illustrate things using different materials.  Being limited to edible materials and trying to translate edible terms to cohesive thoughts on my goals and ambitions was a challenge, to say the least. I decided on going with the job title of Senior Designer, which seems a little vague but I think it's one of the highest most reputable jobs in design. I guess I could be more specific and say Senior Graphic Designer; I guess I'd also like to be partner of a major design firm, or maybe to start one of my own, but Senior Design seems like an ambitious goal that I would love to accomplish.

Because we didn't necessarily have to make a real 'cake' i tried to think of ways that i could use food in a cohesive element without making an actual cake. I considered layering things in a bowl, or molded to a shape, or actually building something using cake materials. I ended up deciding to use all different sorts of food...mostly sweets, that each represent different steps to take or traits id need to accomplish this career goal. I didn't want to just mix everything together, so i decided to take the approach of making it during class and presenting what im adding and what it means as i go along. it will be a sort of 'cooking style' presentation where i am instructing the class on how to achieve these goals. we'll see how it plays out!

this ended up being a challenging assignment because it made me think in a completely different way. it was difficult to narrow down my ideas and to organize all of my thoughts into a complete result. i had to decide which traits/steps id take, and then translate all of those characteristics into edible food elements.
