Food Taboos Article
This article addresses an important topic: how we view food. The emotional views, negative associations with certain foods and diets, body image, and our personal relationship with the food we consume are many factors that influence how we personally view food in relation to ourselves. As the article progresses, it discusses what to avoid to help create a more positive relationship with food, such as how we don't necessarily need to cut out sugar completely. In my visual imagery, I wanted to lean into this progression of views, starting with the negative idea that one must eat less and limit oneself to veggies and chicken or other strict diets that are restrictive. For the first spread, I included healthy ingredients of a salad, and as you flip each page, what is considered to be more "junky" food is gradually added in. I designed the cover photo to also reflect this idea of restrictive dieting. I played around with several different food art ideas, and the salad was the final concept that I landed on.
