My graphic design and illustration for a new company for Biltong in France, Marseille.
Doing this project has been more work than fun and I’m looking forward to working more with them.
Each of the "personas" represents one of the guys.
I have also done a folder and a Prism for them.
here is there there FACEBOOK
…and more info on them and what biltong is:

Contrary to popular belief Biltong is not the nectar of the Ancient Greek gods but just a very tasty good old-fashioned meat snack from the far end of Africa…

Yes, that’s right

Biltong hails from sunny South Africa…

So what is biltong???

Biltong originated when The Dutch settlers who arrived in South Africa in the 17th century brought recipes for dried meat from Europe, including France and Spain. Today it is sold all over the world and has even become a household name in countries like the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Holland and Spain…

Biltong is a kind of cured meat. Many different types of meat are used to produce Biltong, ranging from beef through to game meats. Biltong is similar to beef jerky in that they are both spiced, dried meats, but differ in their typical ingredients, taste and production process. The word biltong is from the Dutch Bil ("rump or buttock") and tong ("strip" or "tongue")… Brown vinegar along with Spices from all over the world is used to spice and cure the meat. Biltong is very high in protein, iron and magnesium and it is a very healthy snack. It is typically low in fats and carbs…

It is conventionally consumed accompanied with Beer and other beverages but can also be part of salads, sandwiches or part of you apero.

Now a bit more about trois fréres Biltong…

The Company has a real Biltong flavour to it in that all three the partners are from different parts of the world… We have a South African, an Irish man and even an American and all three of us are living in France. Trois Fréres Biltong has sprawn from our collective love of Biltong…

Camp FRESH 2010

Some cool healthy food choices images:

Camp FRESH 2010
healthy food choices

Until this summer, Javiar Emory-Turner had never seen a tomato that wasn’t red.
At Camp FRESH, the 16-year-old Wilmington youth is not only tasting tomatoes that are yellow, green and orange, he is helping to grow and sell the produce.

Even more important, Javiar is taking the lessons he is learning about eating healthy home to his family and neighbors, encouraging them to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables each and every day.

"Before, I only ate fruits and vegetables about once a week," he said. "Now, I’m trying new foods that are healthy. I’m cutting back on sugar. I’m getting exercise."

Started by Christiana Care, Camp FRESH is a nine-week program for 48 young people ages 13-18 from Wilmington, New Castle and Newark, Del. The corner stores in their communities carry few fresh fruits and vegetables, and getting to larger markets with more food choices is sometimes difficult. These young gardeners from city neighborhoods till the soil at Wilmington Urban Farm, a verdant plot bursting with broccoli and bok choy, carrots and cabbage, zucchini and zinnias. By growing and eating healthy produce, the teens grow a healthy respect and appreciation for the value of nutrition, and they model their new respect for nutrition to others in the community, who also improve their diets-and, ultimately, their overall well being.
Christiana Care launched Camp FRESH in 2006 as part of the health system’s efforts to build an awareness of the value of nutrition, make a dent in obesity and improve the quality of life for these participants.

Two days a week, the teens sell produce at two stands in urban neighborhoods, one at the farm on East 12th Street and the other at Wilmington Hospital. On the other days, the youths gather at the Eugene du Pont Preventive Medicine and Rehabilitation Institute, where they make healthy dishes such as Asian coleslaw, made with Ramen noodles, cabbage and other accessible ingredients.

Campers were hesitant to taste when a bowl of edamame-baby soybeans popular in Japan-was passed around the room.

"Go ahead and try it," said Christopher Moore, Christiana Care healthy lifestyle coordinator. "Just squeeze the pod, and the beans pop right out."

About half the campers enjoyed the edamame. As for other healthy dishes, Hilda Hernandez, 16, feels good about trying hummus made from chick peas and red peppers.

"I thought it looked funny," she said. "But learning to eat things that are good for you is important if you want to stay healthy."

Already, Hilda has lost two pounds. She is walking more instead of taking the bus.

After lunch, she and the other campers got a rousing workout with Zumba, a Latin-inspired fitness regimen that harnesses the energy of music.

"Zumba is fun and makes me want to keep exercising," said Taylor Ferguson, 15, who has lost four pounds. "Now, I’m doing sit-ups and push-ups at home."

In addition to learning about nutrition and weight management, the teens talk about sex education, drug and alcohol abuse, strategies for being good ambassadors in the community and planning for the future.
