Earth’s Garden

Open for business

                Earth’s Garden is a locally owned restaurant with items only consisting of whole foods, or food that is processed as little as possible and is free of artificial substances. So basically only fruits and vegetables. Earth’s Garden’s menu consists mainly of healthy, flavorful, desserts that are all natural. It’s not only about desserts though. Earth’s Garden also has breakfast, lunch, and dinner options for the not so sweet teeth out there. You might be thinking that the foods here can’t possibly be good since it is truly all natural, but you’re wrong. With the right mixtures and ingredients we hope to have made the best healthiest food people have ever tasted. Our goal is to have made tasty natural dishes that people will want to eat and then cut out the bad foods in their diet as well.

Background on the founder

                   The founder attended Yale for her medical degree. Alexis Shannon graduated with her PhD in medical and nutritional studies. She conducted many researches on the nutritional value of processed food and whole foods. She concluded that whole foods were the best providers of all the essential nutrients needed to survive, but can also maintain your health and reverse health induced disease and cancer. With her findings she created Earth’s Garden to provide whole foods to people who want to better themselves. Her goal is to turn the United States population healthy again by stripping it of artificial foods.

Facts and Statistics about processed food

                The American diet went from a large consumption of potatoes, wheat, and grains to low-fat milk, beef, and poultry. With this change we have seen a dramatic increase in heart disease, breast, colon, and prostate cancer, along with other health induce medical conditions including obesity. As our western diet spreads around the world, even the healthiest cultures like japan, will become as sickly as we are. Animal fats are harmful to consume because they clog up the arteries, contain cholesterol and an enzyme called casing the can turn on and off cancer growth. 20% of casing turns on cancer growth while 5% turns it off. Heart burn is a side effect of consuming too much protein because protein causes the stomach to become very acidic since it contains sulfur. The average person only needs about 30 grams (10 pennies) of protein a day. This can easily be achieved by eating green leafy vegetables. Spinach is actually 52% protein. Eating a lot of protein from plants is fine for your health because it doesn’t contain the cancer causing enzyme. Also fructose (high fructose corn syrup) is an artificial sweetener created by our government to reduce the cost of packaged food. Fructose tells the leptin in your brain that you’re still hungry, even if your stomach ifs full. No wonder America is obese! Half of our food contains fructose that gives us an unsatisfying feeling of hunger so we continue to eat. In conclusion, meat, dairy, and fructose are the leading cause of health issues in the world.

Article- The three types of life altering origin stories are trauma, destiny, and sheer chance. Trauma is when a person undergoes trauma leading to stress inducing growth. This helps them to help others. Destiny is when a person is chosen years before their very own lifetime, by fate, to accumulate such powers and to help the world. Sheer chance is when someone's powers comes to them randomly. The powers could have gone to anyone, but because they were there at that very same time the powers were, they got them.

Story- Alexis was born into a young military family. Her mother was a nurse, and her dad a soldier. Her older sister, Payton, and her never really got along so Alexis was forced to play by herself. In doing so she became fascinated with the compelling idea of perfection. This same idea applied to having a perfect family. A couple years later her father was called in to active duty overseas to take care of matters in Iraq and Afghanistan. When her father left she went into a state of deep depression. She felt out of place without her father being there and the idea of perfection was gone. She came to realize that all of this was the governments' fault. People should be able to do what they want. She kept this thought to herself until six months later when her mother received a letter in the mail from a military base stationed in Iraq. The letter read:
"To the family of Kyle Shannon,
We are sorry to inform you that your loved one died in battle this previous weekend. We recovered his body for a proper ceremony. He will be dearly missed by his fellow troops and the rest of the world."
This insincere letter left Alexis mortified. After the funeral she became bitter. She vowed to herself to never live down to that excruciating day and with this in mind she ran away to Wooster, Ohio. There she found Devil town and made a pack with the devil. The deal was if she vowed to destroy all authority on earth she would be given the powers of invisibly and the ability to create an unstoppable army to rid the world of governments. This wasn't just any old army, it was an army of the dead. With that she sold her soul. It wasn't until a year later when she was seen again in the news. She had killed off the president and made an announcement to the world saying," Start preparing for death, I'll be needing you later." A second later a scream was heard in the background and the television cast went fuzzy. She had awoken an army of the dead to completely annihilate Washington D.C. The only standing buildings were covered in dead flowers spelling out the name FATALITY. Fatality's goal now is destroy all forms of government and their militaries. She thinks that if she rids the world of authority and defense mechanisms then that will stop what happened to her family from happening to others. Because of her, even in death it won't be peaceful.



 This would be the comic book version of the story.

This weeks project consisted of doing doodle for Google. The theme was: "If I could invent one thing, what would it be?"  Well, to answer this question I would solve a lot of earth's problems right now by creating an abundant resource that would replace all others and is ECO friendly. This new resource can act and be manipulated like all others, oil, gas, coal, etc. and still work. This way we can continue to live the way we are now and live the way we want to in the future without harming the earth.

If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place, I would... invent a food that would give people the energy and nutrients they would need, but it would allow people to become fit and maintain their health. This invention would help control the obesity problem, mainly found in the United States, and to prevent the consumption of meat and/or animal byproducts. 

P.S. I'm a vegetarian/health-nut.

Old ad

Replicated ad

The types of tools I used are gradient for the background, the magic wand and quick selection tool to crop the two dogs out of their original pictures, the pen tool to create the curved selection on the dog, the text tool for the attempt of a logo, and the blur tool to blend the two different dogs I used. What was difficult about this assignment for me is trying to get it perfect, which it still isn't. I'm a perfectionist so it was hard for me to realize the two ads won't exactly match. The other difficulty I had was the curved line separating the pencil and the dog. I couldn't really figure out what tool to use to create the selection. finally I used the pen tool and changed it to a selection after I got it where I wanted it. The lighting on the dog and its shading I wish I could have manipulated more to match the actual ads dog also.









The benefits of this shaped pomegranate would be that shipping is a lot easier due to the triangular structure. Packaging would be a pattern where a triangle is placed bottom first and the next is placed head first. The columns made doing so should maximize the capacity of the box in which it is contained.

My banquet picture should explain itself.

   Teddy the Bear:

Teddy was made using only the pen tool. Teddy is the best friend of millions of young kids, including myself. Teddy has been with me through thick and thin. I remember when I was younger I'd take him everywhere I went. I brought him along for the comfort. I'd sleep with him, care for him like a baby, and would never let the darn bear out of my sights. Even when I was sick he would be there right by my side. To this day I consider Teddy my best friend and could never replace him. Once when I was sick I accidentally threw up on him. Now me being the way I am about vomit never really played with him much after that. Years went by and he is the same old bear but I'm not the same young girl. I hold onto him for the next generation of Shannon's. So they can adore him just as much as I do.

I would have to say the most difficult thing about the pen tool is being able to add new points to the shape, moving points, or turning the sides. I'm a perfectionist and as you can see the sides are not perfectly rounded, which irks me. and I can't figure out how to move the dot to where it doesn't look like one was put there.

I decided to do my state poster on Ohio. Ohio is my true home and holds most of the people I love. Doing this project just reminds me of how much I miss it.
