Beanfeast 2024 Programme Leaflet - design, page layout, collage & illustration

The term "Beanfeast" dates back to 6th July 1773, when King George III arrived at Woolwich by barge and proclaimed an annual holiday after enjoying an open-air feast of beans and bacon. Woolwich Works' modern Beanfeast was a unique recreation of the feast, 251 years later, with a food-filled programme curated by food writer Anna Sulan Masing. I had a happy chance to work with Anna again and first time working with Woolwich Works. I was asked to create the programme leaflet for the festival and they were very open with the brief, I decided to do a collage artwork for the cover with a cute playfulness of the beans and bacon, with bright and cheerful Summer holiday colours running throughout. The programme consisted of the layout of Woolwich Works and the schedule for all the talks, workshops, makers market and live music. Thanking Anna and Allison from Woolwich Works for this Summer project, and for being open and engaging with my designs.

Cooking like a Sailor - Pears, Beans and Bacon

This is a dish that originated in northern Germany in the 12th century and was eaten both in the peasant kitchen and at sea. The dish called ‘pears, beans and bacon’ is a classic and is known from Schleswig-Holstein to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in Lower Saxony, Hamburg and Bremen.

As the dish says, you need pears (but not sweet ones, cooking pears), beans and bacon. The cooking pears and beans ripen in the gardens at the end of August, beginning of September. The bacon used to be too. Farmers hung it up to dry in winter and by the end of the summer it was ready for "harvesting". These were all ingredients that could be stored for some time and were also often eaten by seafarers on short voyages. The dish was also quick to prepare, simply boil everything until soft, season with salt or savoury, mix together and enjoy.

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)
