This project explores the design of a front cover for Sunday Table, a playful recipe book that celebrates cooking as a joyful, creative experience rather than a polished performance. The brief focused on creating a bold, illustrated cover that feels expressive, handmade, and full of personality.
The visual direction embraces sketch-style artwork, vibrant color, and imperfect linework to reflect the spontaneity and warmth of cooking at home. Instead of traditional food photography, the cover relies on illustration and expressive typography to create an immediate emotional connection and stand out on both physical shelves and digital platforms.
The final design balances energy with clarity, ensuring the title remains legible while allowing color, texture, and illustration to take center stage. The result is a cover that feels inviting, human, and fun - capturing the spirit of a cookbook made to be used, shared, and enjoyed.
