Design #01.
PARTY TIME!
Author1: Jono Art Description:
I truly enjoy and appreciate the Asian culture. I especially love the food! I wanted to keep the theme of my flyer with that of the culture. In Asian culture, the color gold represents prosperity and wealth. Indicating that I wish prosperity and wealth to all. I went with red for the lettering because it signifies good fortune and happiness, meaning that I wish everyone good fortune and happiness. The tiger is a symbol of courage and bravery, reminding us to always be strong, and no matter what life challenges come at us, to approach them bravely and not be afraid.

Bond with Culture
Author4: Vivian XuArt Description:
This design is a combined media piece, consisting of oil paint and digital. The oil painted part is inspired from real life where I cook Asian foods for dinner. The lanterns and cymbal were drawn digitally. Additionally, I added lanterns and cymbals as culture celebrations and community. Text is from the website and Instagram. The overall color scheme is set to Asian colors: red and yellow.

Mckinney Minimal
Author7: Luke GArt Description:
I kept the yellow and red color scheme, but went with a cleaner, more simple layout and design. In an effort to keep it clean and minimal, I left the M bamboo brand off of this one for now, focusing instead on a happy little bowl of ramen.
DESIGN #08.
DSLR & Dumplings
Author8: Luke GArt Description:
This design features vibrant food photography, with people diving in to represent the communtiy and connection that happens around food. Utilized a more modern clean font, and leaned away from specific Asian themes in the design - letting the food photo shine.
DESIGN #09.

Big Stretch Ramen
Author11: Mary Ellen Gonsiorek Art Description:
I’m a huge ramen fan. My illustration is to take the lucky cat and bring lucky ramen to all festival goers! In fact, I have a lucky Neko in my house in front of my drawing station next to a Sailor Moon Luna illustration. Bringing my inner child out, I came up with this illustration.

DESIGN #13.
Red Eye Catching Logo
Author13: Rosa SummersArt Description:
My design was focused on creating a logo or something similar for the event. I used bright red to catch the eye of readers but also showcase the importance the color red has in many Asian cultures. I tried to make the flyer neutral and not focusing too much on one specific culture. I also made sure to add a QR code, embedded website (people can click on this in pdf format and be directed to your website), and lastly a question email for things like parking, etc. I hope you enjoy!
DESIGN #14.

A manga-style treat for the senses! 🍡✨ Dive into this playful panel layout blending chibi charm and iconic Asian sweets—like taiyaki, dango, and fruit sando—served with a splash of milk tea cuteness. Inspired by traditional festival posters and modern anime culture, this art celebrates the joyful fusion of flavor, fun, and kawaii flair at the McKinney Asian Food Festival 2025!
DESIGN #15.
McKinney Asian Food Festival Pop
Author15: Morakoth Chev Art Description:
For this poster design, I was inspired by blending bright neon colors of Asian pop culture with traditional patterns from Across Asia. I used bold typography, neon gradients, and pixel inspired designs to reflect the modern energy of Asian pop culture. With these contemporary elements, I then paired it with decorative cloud like borders to symbolize the balance and uniqueness between the different Asian communities. Connecting back with the theme of the Asian food festival, I also included recognizable Asian street food snacks from various cultures to enhance the diversity and reflect the vibrant Asian communities within McKinney.
