Artefact

My Artefact consists of a diagram of the four main meats consumed every year, as well as a closer look at each type of meat through a ringed chart. I was inspired by butcher diagrams of meat cuts. I consolidated these illustrations into a poster.

Description

My artefact is inspired by a butcher’s menu. The first diagram is cut into four different parts, with four different types of meat. The combination of the four types of meat is organized based on their popularity from left to right, Pork, Poultry, Beef and Mutton respectively. I chose the most recognisable iconography of each animal the meat comes from, namely pig’s head, chicken’s feet, cow‘s udders and sheep legs. For the second diagram, I used the distinct shape of each cut of meat to create a graph showing 11 years of data on meat consumption.
