Cover Design & Book Layout

I did the cover art and graphic design of a limited edition digital and print recipe book. In January 2021, over 30 people gathered virtually at a retreat for teaching artists who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color. We gathered from different parts of Washington state in order to support each other by participating in creative practices that focus on wellness. Participants were invited to share their own practices in the form of a “recipe,” with instructions so we can each try to expand our own repertoires for self-care. I scanned the recipe cards that were submitted, and compiled them into a recipe book.

The front cover, inside title page, back contributor page, and back cover images are below:

Cover text Design

For the cover text design, I played with designing digitally as well as adding in scanned painted letters. We wanted to keep the cover with the same handmade collaged feel as the cover and inside pages.
