healthy cooking class

what is more important than health? i mean, when you have lost it :) anyway, there are a few enthusiasts that do come to cooking classes for prevention's sake. and when edita teaches them, there is a need to design an invitation.

as it usually happens, this time also, there was a very limited time to accomplish it, so i thought of something that was already available. for another health programme i drew items to build the food pyramid. but i wanted them changed, for they were in bitmap format, and coloured. (the leek has slightly dented outline because it was rotated into horizontal position.)

i processed the drawings to have clean surfaces, but i decided to use negatives. when thinking of health the green colour comes to mind, so the objects would be white on a dark green surface. in this way all illustrations other then the main one were again converted into positives. to be able to make a composition, i made the them semitransparent. the final outcome is (almost) shown below:

the chequered line is just opposite of the idea of fast food (coming possibly from the F1 imagery). it is to remind you of an old-fashioned picnic tablecloth and give you an impression of wholesome eating and homely atmosphere. the latter is additionally stressed by the handwriting styled title which says: healthy is tasty.

edita's desire is to enlighten people concerning the delicious outcome of intentional and well-grounded but creative effort to cook in a way that promotes health. but you will never know - unless you check it yourself. do not just leave it all with the visual attraction. do something about your health! it does taste great.
