The Science and Spirit of Seaweed

I designed the cover and page layout for The Science and Spirit of Seaweed: Discovering Food, Medicine and Purpose in the Kelp Forests of the Pacific Northwest by Amanda Swinimer!

This book was one my greatest design challenges yet. Epigraphs, pull-quotes, sidebars, an identification and usage guide, personal vignettes, recipes from guest chefs, plus hundreds of photos—a lot that needs unique treatment while still looking cohesive. And I'm thrilled with how nice it turned out!

Typefaces: The main body text uses Utopia Std, the main titles are Bovine Round MVB, and other headings use Houshka Rounded. Vignette body text and other elements use Houschka Pro. The titles of vignettes and recipes use Gastromond, and the pull-quotes are in Fave Script Pro.
