Sugar Rush Cookbook
To further my skills in photography and photo-design, I was tasked with creating and designing a photo-book with a topic and content of my choice. I chose to create a cookbook (specifically of baked goods and desserts) to combine my love for one of my hobbies, baking, and design. To accomplish this, I baked and photographed different recipes while combining photography and typography to create different layouts.
Sugar Rush is a dessert cookbook that includes recipes for cupcakes, pies, cookies, and more. It has step-by-step instructions and ingredient lists, along with images of each recipe. In addition to ten recipe pages, it includes four pages of baking tips and tricks to help you create delicious from-scratch desserts with ease.
Moodboard
I knew the cookbook would have to be very visual and photo-based to fit the scope of the project. However, when researching different types of cookbooks, I realized that ones with a lot of photography were more popular amongst consumers anyway. Clean, simple photography that focuses on the final product catch people’s eye and creates interest into what the recipe is. It also helps the user know if they have done it correctly, if it looks like the pictures. My moodboard focuses around clean imagery and minimal text to ensure it is clear and easy-to-follow.
