Research Publication Layout Design. OUGD505.

For the layout of this publication I feel that it is important to keep the essence of what a cookbook looks and feel like when flicking through. The layout needs to be fairly image based with simple and to the point information which would take the place of the recipe.
Most cookbooks have imagery on each page, and sometimes a double spread page of imagery so that the reader learns by looking rather than reading through a huge bit of text. This is important to keep this balance in my publication to show my research through both image and text and also through the layout of my publication.

From here I went on to design the other pages of the publication in the same way, trying to mimic the look of a cookbook, but without the same content. 

I decided to change the colour scheme of my cookbook to black and white as well,  because I think that this looked much more like a modern cookbook, and rather than having full colour images like a cookbook would I wanted to change it a bit to keep it modern looking and not completely like a cookbook. 

For the front cover of the book I wanted it to look quite striking, with bold type and an eye catching brand that continues through the book.
