“Beatnik wanted to create a memorable cookbook that reflected Kelly’s quirky yet stylish nature. A book to complement her good standing within the food and media industries, but at the same time is not too serious in tone. The recipes needed to be easy to read and follow. And with so much competition it was essential the book stood out in a busy cookbook section.
The response is a beautiful blue book that pops in the shops and Kelly loves. Quirky loose illustrations mixed in with a stylish colour palette of blue, green and magenta. Fonts that assist in making the recipes accessible. And of course, Kelly’s gorgeous photography and lovely recipes.”
Judges’ comments An absolute feast from start to finish. The gold foil and debossing on the title invite readers to a quirky and stylish gathering. The bright blue palette sets it apart in a crowded cooking section, with a calming and approachable interior that evokes Mediterranean warmth and inspires a desire to cook. The page number and folio system are effective, while the repetition of components in a strong design template works seamlessly. The playful blue type, thoughtful functionality of section contents, and good use of white space further enhance the book’s overall appeal.
