Concept Board: Textures

So for our next project we have to create concept boards with visual research that conveys a certain concept or idea. With my growling stomach in mind, i turned to food to find some interesting textures for my board.

 This crunchy looking treat is called Khanom La, it is a dessert from southern Thailand.
