wasabi menu redesign (hand bound) :





this menu design was based on the following principles:

Wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aethetic centered on the acceptance of transience. The phrase comes from the two words wabi and sabi. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".

Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity, simplicity, modesty, intimacy, and the suggestion of natural processes.

nearing the close

i'm nearly (!!) done Year One of graphic design at red river college. it's going to be a long month, but then...well, i'm not sure what then. i assume i'll go mad with sudden 24/7 free time, so i'll fill my plate with money-making, book-buying, cookie-baking and dock-lying. for now, it's work, work, work til the bitter end.

here are just a couple of my latest school projects (more to come). you can also see them, and more of my work, by following the "portfolio" link to the right. -------->
