In the Kitchen with Web-Design

Within my master's I'm creating several prototype websites to demonstrate how illustration can effectively fulfill the roles of visual imagery online, and one is a cupcake bakery website. There are approximately thirty businesses in Perth that sell cupcakes as a primary or secondary specialty so it's an opportunity to prove illustration can differentiate entities in saturated markets.

To create the web-site for this fake cupcake bakery of course I need the rights to product images. Rather than buying cupcakes and photographing them, I decided to bake and decorate my own so I've been having a lot of adventures in making fancy cupcakes, with edible glitter generously sprinkled throughout these experiments. Luckily those who would call me mad for going this far for a prototype have been soothed by my delicious research and development.
