-
Designing for a multi-title series, the designer goes back to the original concept of the publication. A day in the life of a city. The design concept religiously follows the sun, with running heads and chapter openers featuring circles as a sun, rising and setting. Cover, endpapers, contents and chapter openers consistently feature the sun. Internals feature recipe pages with rotating display typefaces for headings, reflecting the chaos of Bangkok, complemented by illustrations. Various layouts are designed for breakout spreads. The cover is embellished with embossing, spot UV and special lamination.
