Project Areas of illustration part 2

Exercise : A menu card


For this task you are asked to provide an illustration for use on the menu of a sophisticated , quality fish restaurant- one in a chain sited in major European cities.The menu uses a fresh ingredients.



I was quite lucky as that day I bought a nice fresh fish from the counter.  I baked this mackerel in the oven; put some nice, fresh looking garnish on the plate and voila!  I had a perfect looking modern supper.

My next step was to make a drawing on a white background with a black ink.  When my sketch was ready, I decided to work on it with a computer program.  I knew that my illustration was going to look very fresh because of green round peas and yellow slice of lemon.











As a background of my illustration, I placed an old menu that says how to prepare a beer batter fish.  I really like the look of that old font, in my opinion it looks modern and yet so stylish.
