Design a plant-themed macaroni！

Macaroni is a delightful Italian pasta known for its diverse range of shapes, each offering diners a distinct culinary experience.

I aim to craft a macaroni design centered around the theme of plants, embarking on a creative journey to explore three-dimensional compositions.

💻TOOLS

→💡：Procreate (iPad)

→💡：Adobe Premiere Pro

🧰MATERIALS

→💡：Flour, Eggs, Water

→💡：Various Spices

→💡：Paper, Clay (Initial model)

→💡：Epoxy Resin （Booth decoration）

▷Identifying Characteristics◁

To document the characteristics of plants and distill them into a cohesive theme, I plan to conduct on-site observations of real plants. This hands-on approach will enable me to capture the essence of various plant features and distill them into a cohesive design concept.

Chinese Wolfberry

Pitcher plant

Clover

I have ultimately chosen to create this macaroni with a four-leaf clover theme.

FEEDBACK

🔸 Strong geometric sense and design-oriented, which reduces the handmade feel. After several rounds of improvement, it feels like randomness has significantly reduced, forming a more consistent and rational shape.

🔸 In terms of spatial design, it has a stable and robust spatial structure with a noticeable sense of volume.

🔸It appears complex, but once you have a fixed workflow, the actual production speed is quite fast.

🔸 One drawback is that it may be challenging to achieve industrial-scale production, and currently, there isn't a viable method for mechanized production of this macaroni.

🔸 After embossing, the surface may have difficulty achieving a thinner texture, making it somewhat challenging to cook thoroughly.

INSTRUCTIONS

🔸 In order to highlight the macaroni exhibit, the entire booth is constructed using black materials to enhance visual contrast. The macaroni display area has been enlarged, with other exhibits serving as secondary decorations.

🔸 A stepped booth design is employed to enhance rhythm and pacing, creating a sense of regularity.

🔸 Taking inspiration from some museum exhibit designs, small text explanations are added at the corners.

🔸 The booth consists of four separate black boxes with different tiers, which are not physically connected to each other to facilitate transport during setup. However, this approach may result in difficulty arranging them neatly. Perhaps consider using detachable fixtures for better alignment.

Inspiration for design often derives from life. Designers need to have a passion for and an appreciation of life. Cooking can serve as a source of inspiration for designers. That's why I chose to create a macaroni design.

Hopefully, you can also fall in love with cooking! 🍝 🍝 🍝 🍝 🍝
