The concept for this series of posters was to show the communities of Los Angeles aimed towards the citizens of Los Angeles. The three communities I chose were Little Tokyo, Korea Town, and Thai Town. Then I thought, what better way to communicate community and culture than by food? The result was the poster series: The Tastes of LA.
The layout is broken down to a famous dish from each culture as the main image, the name of the community (i.e. "Little Tokyo"), the tagline ("The Tastes of LA"), a list of great restaurants there, and a travel stamp.
I chose to have the text running down since most Asian cultures have a top to bottom writing system. And the travel stamp was a nice touch, as if to illustrate your visit there.
All in all, I truly enjoyed this project and was happy to make people hungry everytime I showed it.

I really like your posters Jennifer..
However, why the layout of little Tokyo is different from the others.
The information under the image should be in the same size for the same campaign or all different!!!
Your posters look great, except I assume the rotated type makes it less legible. The imageryl is great.
I'm hungry...
Hey I've been having trouble uploading my own work on my blog. I tried pdfs and jpegs but none seem to load? Any advise?
Your posters turned out great. I think you had the best photographs in the class. I especially liked the postage stamps. They give viewers the idea/feeling of taking a long trip to a foreign land without ever leaving their local areas.
