My initial ideas were all centered around the tools used as a food stylist. However with some research I found out the tools used were generic everyday tools such as scissors and glue. Hence it was hard to compose a piece that would represent a food stylist.
So I decided to go with food photography, which is what an actual food stylist would do. I was leaning towards images such as
Basically to use real food and inedible items to compose a photo. However I was not too confident of my photog skills and also thought that it would be concentrated on the font. Hence I decided to use illustrator where it was easy to achieve minimal and concentrate on the font.
So I decided on a burger bun as food stylist are known for gluing on every individual seed on to the bun to make the perfect bun.
When going into I wanted it to be as simplistic as possible, representing the bun with a simple circle. However when I asked my friends to guess what it was, most of them said soup, and guess chef as the job. Hence I decided that I need to add in some greens and a tweezer to make things a little clearer.
However this composition was a bit off and stiff, hence I played around with the placement of the tweezer and came up with my final result.
