Wild Olives aims to inspire both seasoned plant-based cooks and curious newbies. The challenge was to design a layout that was both visually engaging and incredibly user-friendly with large print that reads easily as you're rushing around the kitchen.
I used a combination of vibrant illustrations and photos to create a visual book that wouldn't get lost amidst the flour and spices. The layout was designed with functionality in mind. A clear hierarchy of information ensures you can find everything you need at a glance, even when juggling ingredients mid-recipe.
While the book celebrates the delicious world of plant-based cuisine, it also offers flexibility. Many recipes include suggestions for incorporating protein, allowing readers to personalize their experience. "Wild Olives Cookbook" is more than just a collection of recipes; it's an invitation to explore a world of culinary possibilities.
Mid-century style illustrations were used across the cookbook cover, chapter illustrations, and recipe pages to showcase meaningful parts to the author in a fun and playful visual language - like the use of a large serving fork her grandfather had carved, or her favorite knife.
This book isn't just meant to be read; it's designed to be seen! The eye-catching cover and spine were designed to stand out on your bookshelf or in stores.
Wild Olives is a vibrant celebration of seasonal cooking with a whimsical zodiac twist. Each chapter dives into a specific season, but with an added layer of fun – we matched the seasons to their corresponding zodiac sign. The carefully crafted color palette guides you along the way, visually differentiating each season and its zodiac counterpart. So, no matter where you flip open the book, you'll always know exactly what time of year and astrological influence you're cooking for.
Large print was utilized on the pages to make the book easy to read as you're balancing spices and ingredients mid-recipe.
Illustrations were used and color coordinated for the beginning of each chapter - ranging from salads and smoothies, to pastas and desserts - setting the tone for your culinary adventure ahead.
