Bitmaps & Baking
This self-initiated project expands my earlier blueberry study through image systems, accumulation, and translation between digital and physical forms. Inspired by the way the original grid read as both abstraction and image, I constructed a bitmap portrait composed entirely of blueberries, manually placing and adjusting 1,390 individual elements to create depth, variation, and visual cohesion. The digital composition was extended into a physical format through a zine that reframes a blueberry buckle recipe as a designed artifact, combining image, text, and playful annotation. Printed on cream-colored paper, the publication draws on influences from risograph culture and recipe ephemera, positioning food, repetition, and shared domestic rituals as sites for both functional and expressive graphic design.
