Amuse Bouche : 8 illustrations : an honors creative project (HONRS 499)

Abstract

As a graphic design major and a magazine journalism major I have great opportunities to combine both fields of study. The majority of creative projects that combine both areas are rooted in editorial design. The goal of this project is to further develop and challenge my skills that are applicable to both magazine journalism and graphic design.This portfolio of eight original illustrations will be used to acquire freelance illustration positions. The illustrations will be based on Indianapolis poet Terry Kirts' short poems, Amuse Bouche. The poems are reflective of the French term Amuse Bouche in that they are short and amusing and always food-related.
