Concept statement
I think my design relates to destination Italy because whenever you - well, I- hear the word Italy i always think of gelati! icecream is one of my fave foods! =D ok, so yeah, my inspiration was from icecream-gelati! i wanted it to be a cute design with the incorporation of the italian flag's colours and the italian chef with the typical moustache. i also wanted to use some italian words - 1 italian word, i should say- to add more of an italian feel to it! yep, so that is how i ended up with my final design! hope you like it! ^^
Where in the world would you go to and why?
Timbucktoo! nah Paris France! bonjour tout le monde! I am french obsessed ive studied the language for the last few years and i just absolutely love it! The language sounds so beautiful! the fashion shows are so sophisticated! and gah the food is just DELICIOUS! but most importantly im a girly girl at heart and which self confessed girly girl could resist such a romantic city?! send me to france!
