With A Cherry On Top

Softwares: Illustrator, InDesign

Concept

 

All recipes are sourced from my grandmother. The visual direction centers on nostalgia, simplicity, and warmth.

Key elements: • Hand-drawn illustrations • Soft, homemade aesthetic • Clean, approachable layouts

 

System Development

 

The cover illustration became the foundation of the visual system. To reinforce the homemade theme, I incorporated a gingham pattern — referencing picnic traditions and comfort baking. A layered cherry-and-floral motif adds personality and creates a recognizable brand element that carries throughout the book.

The Problem 

 

A recipe book inspired by my grandmother’s classic desserts. Each recipe reflects the homemade baking she shared at family gatherings. The goal was to translate those memories into a cohesive visual system that feels warm, personal, and timeless.
