Cooking Weekly

Client Brief

This was a fictional brief that was making a front cover, Contents Page and a DPS (Double Page Spread) of a cooking magazine.

Client Deliverables

The first page I made was the front cover. I chose the name "Cooking Weekly" and established a design style that I used throughout all of the pages. I then made the DPS and the contents page.

Client Feedback

My client (teachers) were very happy with the finished product and I took the project into a pitch where it got the highest achievable grade.

My Process

For this project the Client wanted 3 different assets these were:

A Front Cover
Contents Page
1 DPS (double page spread)

For the front cover I wanted to make something bold so that it would catch the attention of the viewer. Due to this I chose to create a style sheet which had the fonts and the colour palette that I used. This was also key to help create a brand identity for the magazine.

For this page I decided to use a column structure to split the page up with on side being the text itself and the other being images that related to each page. I also made multiple iterations of the numbers until I found a good visible and easy to read font and size.

For the double page spread I used a real recipe and included photos of the actual resulting food to very clearly show off what the magazine was teaching the reader. I also found a good median for the text itself where by it was small enough to fit into the page but at the same time was easily readable.

For this project I used a combination of the Adobe Apps Mainly Illustrator and Photoshop. As well as a Handheld camera.
