Yum Yum Dingbats (2011)

Inspired by the NounProject, me and my researcher set out to create a dingbats set of food and drink. Not just any food and drink either, but some of local food and drink. This proved to be one of our design projects so far, and one we had most fun on (origami durian notwithstanding).

The set consists of 9 monotone icons, which are durian, steak on the grill, fish ball from lok-lok, karipap, teh tarik, ketupat, nasi lemak, a bowl of noodles, and prawns. Initially this was just a simple study to know how far we could simplify food into a minimal visualization, a bit icon-ish, which serves as a simple drawing to supplement the textual information. Ah, this is fun.
