Recipe Cards for Spiders. Sigita Zivoltaite, 2004

4 double sided recipie cards from a set of 10. Pen, ink, acrylic paint, metallic paint and collage. 21cm x 14.5cm each
As part of a graphics/illustration specialist project, students were asked to design a set of double-sided recipe cards and a wallet to contain them. They were encouraged to move away from lasagna and produce something more creative. Sigita decided spiders had been overlooked in the recipe card department and produced a set of cards targeting the arachnid market. Each of the set of 10 featured a hand crafted image on the front and recipes containing aphids cooked in dew etc on the back. This worked well and adhered to our graphic design philosophy where the computer is only one tool amongst many for generating responses to a brief.
