The Kitchen Cookbook
Duration: February 2019 – March 2019
Tools: Adobe InDesign, and Lightroom
Project Overview: This is an online viewing cookbook that contains family recipes submitted by all students in the class (21 recipes). The goal of the project is to use typography both creatively and effectively to create a pleasant reading experience and easy to follow instructions.
Challenges: Some challenges I came across during this project was the variety of length and categories of recipes submitted by students. Some recipes would be about half a page while some could extent up to 3 pages. This created a challenge to come up with a layout that would fit both short and long recipes, which included titles, ingredients, directions, and personal message about the recipe.
Solution: My solution was to keep all written recipes to the right side and images to the left side. For recipes with longer than one page, I highlighted some quotes from the student’s personal message.
