Above is a way of making cereal boxes as a cover for a bounded book. They have been made simply made by trimming the small flaps off the top and bottom of each box then sewing separate books inside using a long stitch and connecting the individual books together with a horizontal stitch... This is an example of long stitch book-binding ... "Longstitch is a bookbinding technique used for sewing together the sections of a book. There are different forms of longstitch sewings. Longstitch binding does not require glue, though there are methods that utilize glue. In his book "Non Adhesive Bindings
Vintage Packaging
Looking at vintage cereal packages with the hope of being able to screen print some packaging that would hang in the exhibition. Vintage cereal packaging was alot more simple than modern day cereal packages which is something I might explore with this project.
Vintage packaging has a screen print like texture which I woul like to recreate. I would like to screen print some of the iconic images on to posters which could be exhibited at my exhibition.
An exhibition of ... Chocolate
Chocolate will engage your senses and reveal facets of this sumptuous sweet that you始ve never thought about before. You始ll explore the plant, the products, and the culture of chocolate through the lenses of science, history, and popular culture. Chocolate and its national tour were developed by The Field Museum, Chicago. This project was supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation.
Food exhibitions have been done before such as this Chocolate exhbition that teaches people about how chocolate is made and the history of it. I think this would also work with cereal giving people to taste the large variety of cereal while learning abit about the contents of each.
