Project Goal:
The goal was to design a modern digital cookbook that combines clear editorial layout, strong visual hierarchy, and an enjoyable reading experience across multiple pages. The project focused on creating a consistent visual identity while presenting recipes in an attractive and easy-to-follow format.
Type of work: Academic project
Idea and Concept:
This project is a 20-page digital cookbook created around a clean and elegant editorial style. The publication is divided into three recipe categories—Breakfast, Main Course, and Desserts—each distinguished by its own color palette while maintaining a cohesive visual identity throughout the book.
Each recipe is presented across two pages: the first page showcases the finished dish, while the second includes the ingredients, cooking instructions, preparation time, serving size, and difficulty level. Additional sections such as cooking measurements, glossary, chef's tips, and notes make the cookbook practical and user-friendly.
