Design Rationale

The Take away series was designed to raise money for hospitality venues across Australia (now the world), so costs had to be kept low maximise donations. Keeping this in mind, I kept the internals 1 colour on creme paper and used hand drawn scribbles and titles that ‘leaned in’ to the lo-fi nature of the books. An architectural illustration style was developed to give a nostalgic vibe and encourage consumers to buy across the series, turning them into collectables. To date, the series has raised over 250k for Australian businesses during the pandemic.
