Collected recipes

This proposed book design is a collection of illustrated family recipes, each page is filled with an illustrated recipe and a short story about its origin. The concept behind this was to collect well-loved family recipes and beautify them in a collection. Going into this project several elements had to be kept in mind; what type of layout will work specifically with this recipe and what parts should be illustrated? Once these questions were answered, the design could begin!

Each recipe was hand-painted illustrations paired with hand-lettering all of which were created on multimedia paper and then photographed for the book.  The process included creating the watercolor shapes and then re-tracing them with an ink pen. Lastly, any type needed was added.
