I think that these fonts would be good for a

This is the
potential colour

I like the theme of a big
Chinese recipe and
therefore incorporated
the Chinese dragon.
On the other hand, this
picture represents the
traditionalistic Chinese

I’d like to adopt the style used to take these photographs in to my
own design – effectively using Aperture on the food photograph
to achieve a low depth of field so it’s primarily focused on the
food. I’d like to use the style used in the model photograph to, by
taking a picture of the models whole face in good light, in front of
a blank background – easier when it comes to editing.
