This project explores how everyday food culture can be transformed into meaningful visual narratives. By treating food as both medium and message, I documented ephemera, visualized sound, and archived cultural experiences to position food as a “commonplace” for design. The publication highlights the role of documentation and archiving in graphic design, framing food as a site of memory, storytelling, and collective identity.

How can everyday food culture be documented, archived, and transformed into meaningful visual narratives in graphic design?

Inspired by PROCESS: A Tomato Project, I approached food as a medium, material, and text. I developed strategies such as documenting ephemera, visualizing music, and archiving cultural experiences, positioning food as a “commonplace” for design thinking.
