Posters on the wall And here it is: the culmination of my project! For the presentation, I hung my six posters on the wall and set up my blog on my laptop, with the website displayed on a monitor and around 50 handouts available for visitors. I also tried to create a pleasant atmosphere by opening a bag of lavender to make the table smell nice, and used flower vines to cover the mess of cords.

I decided to take the next step and create a companion website. Yipee! The website will allow me to showcase all the detailed information I’ve gathered, offering a platform for visitors to learn about the origins, health benefits, and cultural significance of the ingredients featured in my project. I’ll be able to provide a more in-depth exploration of each ingredient, share recipes, and even provide additional resources for those interested in diving deeper into the intersection of food, wellness, and culture. I wanted to make my project more accessible. So, the website can reach a wider audience and allows for continuous updates, unlike posters, which are static. Plus, I can present the content in a more interactive and dynamic way, helping people connect with the project in a deeper and more personalized manner. Here's the homepage!

Basil Miso I’m continuing to draw more as part of my creative process. It’s been a great way to step back from the technical work and just have fun with the design. Drawing is helping me stay inspired and connected to the core of my project.
