# Personified Sushi Guides Slimu's Types of Sushi Graphics Are a Visual Treat By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-03-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/types-of-sushi References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/364127/Adorable-Animated-GIFs-That-Help-You-Identify-Different-Types-Of-Sushi) & [slimu.tumblr](http://slimu.tumblr.com/post/55647653047/sushi-reference-guide-v) These adorable illustrations from Tumblr user Slimu provide a sweet and simple breakdown on the different types of sushi. The nine animated GIFs in the 'Sushi Reference Guide' make it easy to identify the kinds of sushi that you’re likely to see in restaurants, but less likely to know by their proper Japanese names. This series includes a variety of sushi topped with fish, eggs and other edibles from the sea. Although all of the different names might be initially tough to take in, the different personalities and appearances of the personified sushi certainly helps. Each of the animated versions of the cute sushi drawings wiggles and bounces with a big smile on their faces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Personified Food Guides:** There's room for more creation of graphics and guides to illustrate different types of food, and adding cute and personified drawings could make them more accessible and engaging to a wider audience. - **Animated Food Guides:** Animated graphics could add an extra layer of fun and interaction to food guides, making them even more shareable and memorable. - **Cultural Education Through Illustrations:** There's an opportunity to use cute and visually appealing illustrations to help people understand different cultures and their traditional cuisine in a fun and accessible way. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants, food bloggers, and food-related websites could use these types of personified food guides to showcase their offerings in an engaging and fun way for their audience. - **Education:** Educational apps and websites could use these types of personified food guides to help younger audiences learn about new foods and cultures in a fun and interactive way. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Advertising agencies and companies could use these types of personified food guides in their marketing campaigns to promote certain foods or cultural experiences, particularly targeted towards younger or social media-savvy audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sushi-Inspired 3D-Printed Confections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-confections.md) - [Sushi-Inspired Computer Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moushi-mouse.md) - [Plant-Powered Sushi Courses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omakase-sushi-course.md) - [Pink Sushi Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dept-sushi.md) - [Sushi-Themed Pet Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-feeder-tray.md) - [Convenient Sushi Bakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-bakes.md) - [Pink Plant-Based Sushi Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-sushi-roll.md) - [Elevated Restaurant Sushi Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-experience.md) - [Oven-Ready Sushi Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crushi.md)
