Thesis 1 kitchen W H I S P E R S By Shravika Bothra
What I Want to Do Food is a common point, it is a conversation starter, it is something that connects us everyday. Eating food is a social thing, but today we live in a fast paced life where we, at times even eat alone. I think that everything has an origin and a story behind it. So, by pairing food and flavors and sharing it with friends, it becomes a conversation between me and them. It becomes an exchange of stories and recipes. The ones I choose to make, either come from my own experience or while sharing my story; it comes from others, making this conversation between me and others important. The food I pair can be usual to me and unusual to others or the other way around. This then expands on the origin of where it started and where it has reached now and where it will be in the future.
Inspirations This book is a Flavour Thesaurus, and I feel like, while it writes alot it is not visual enough. However, still a great way of pairing food. This will be a tool for me to cook and experiment and to make others eat.

Both these magazines are taken in different direction. While RE becomes personal by being an edition for a single persons life. Vintage takes other stories and the design treatment is crafty and hand done too. Vintage only takes out 2 or 4 issues a year.

This is the first attempt at making the zine. They will be a series of different recipes. It would contain a few parts: How it came about (the origin). Me making it. A friend making it.

After Critique What I took away from the critique: Start a blog so this exchange of conversation & stories becomes bigger. Look at designers like Feltron. Give more attention to composing the photography. Look at the event aspect.
