Paper Food, A graphic design project guide
“Paper Food” documents a tested, successful, quality studio project for learning graphic design concepts and practices. “Paper Food” is a rich educational resource that details a studio project in depth and allows students to learn from successful project solutions. Using a step-by-step process from the graphic surface to the three-dimensional form, design students abstract and translate the color and shape of a food product in paper.
