A World of Real Emoji

A graphic designer photographs food and drinks (and other objects) as emoji icons. And you want to eat them all.

Instead of making emoji look more like real food, food was made to look more like emoji. That was the idea of the Australian graphic designer, Peechaya Burroughs, whose photos on instagram are an obvious reference to emoji icons. Using Photoshop, to add for example the steam on the top of the coffee mug – a trademark of the specific emoji, she photographs in a minimalistic way, objects created or manipulated by herself.
