Design Rationale

These pocket sized travel books feature food and drink listings and editorial scattered throughout. The concept behind the cover design was to create a collectable series featuring a signature spot colour and illustrative talent from artists who reside in each city. The simple masthead design allows cover art to be unique and different with each edition, yet belong to a series. Chapters are divided into morning, noon and night by a colour-coded thumb index, with editorial marked by a tinted colour background. Notepaper also invites the user to scribble and write for a more liveable, user-friendly design.
