A design challenge I always wanted to take on was to design a service menu to explain to faculty clients what I can do to assist them. I kept puzzling what format to use. The inspiration for this particular design came to me one year at the Distance Learning Administration conference, when Dr. Tom Tobin shared a service menu for disability services that was crafted to look like a Chinese take-out menu. That resonated with me because I wanted to pay homage to my colleagues at the Augusta University Confucius Institute and at the Office of Diversity and Innovation. Below you can see the result.

In the background, I used an yin-yang depiction-- my nod to the Traditional Chinese Medicine yin-yang theory which is true in instructional design as much as it it true in everyday life. In the body of the design, I used the garnet and gold colors that will always follow me - the colors of my days at Florida State University as academic publications coordinator, doctoral student in instructional design, and president of the Instructional Systems Student Association. For every service category, there are several services listed, along with descriptions and recommended times. The hot peppers to the left of some entries indicate the most frequently used services. The design is completed by my name stamp at the bottom right; I had this stamp made for me during my visit to Shanghai for the 60th anniversary of the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
