The project focused on creating a visually engaging and user-friendly cookbook by experimenting with typefaces, layouts, and information hierarchy. The aim was to design a recipe book that not only looks appealing but also enhances usability, making it easy and enjoyable for cooks to follow recipes. This project allowed me to explore how design choices impact readability and navigation, ultimately delivering a cohesive and practical culinary guide.
Layout Explorations
The focus remained on visual ergonomics, while experimenting with various layouts for the cookbook. Given the diverse array of typefaces to be incorporated, the layout needed to be versatile and adaptable, capable of seamlessly accommodating diversity.
The visual identity of each dish is tied to the carefully selected typeface, creating a harmonious relationship between the dish and its typographic representation. The typefaces chosen for this project transcend their traditional role as mere text conveyors; instead, they become integral design elements that capture the essence and character of the dishes they represent.
The typefaces not only communicates the recipe's details but also evokes the emotional and sensory qualities associated with each dish, enhancing the overall culinary experience.
The final layout of the cookbook achieves a balance of aesthetics and functionality. By thoughtfully managing space, shapes, typography and visual flow, the design ensures a seamless and intuitive experience for the user. The top view images of dishes creates a uniformity throughout the publication. The plates cut in half showcase the food while still keeping typefaces in focus.


The last recipe was a challenge where the user would create the recipe of their own for a dish that resonates with the given typeface
