Competition results

Zest for Life

I can now officially say that the competition I entered a few months ago was for Zizzi. As part of the competition terms and conditions I was not able to share any information, but I can now talk about it.

The competition was to design an image for some plates that would displayed in the restaurants. Where the customers could use and buy them. The theme for the competitions was deliciously stylish which I first found difficult to think of a design for. I chose go with citrus fruit slices, as I find citrus juice refreshing and Delicious. I also thought that the shapes of the segments would be interesting to look at with my personal touch.

It took me a while to make my design because I decided to make nine citrus slices. For each slice I tried to make them individual with different patterns in the segments. However I found this quite hard to come up with a pattern for every segment, so I decided to stick to a group of patterns. When I was happy with the design I played around with the layout and colours. I thought of many things like making a spiral or flower head, but i decided to make them a little random as I thought it would show of the patterns.

Many people like the finished product unfortunately my design was not selected to become a plate. However I will try next year which will be my third chance so hopefully third time lucky.

My first time I tried I had to design a cover for the restaurant menu, which I researched by looking at the menu and tried to make a design for all the vegetables they used.

What do you think?
