Book design and illustration for Make & Play

COMPLETED 2020

Following on from the success of her first book, Naturally Inspired, Krissy Ballinger engaged me to design a kids version we called 'Make & Play'.

Beautiful photographs, large type, bold colours, illustrations by kids and cute infographics make the book fun and easy for the whole family to use.

To help the reader quickly identify how easy a recipe is to make, I designed an outlined star icon that fills with more colour as the recipe gets harder. This idea is also used for how long a recipe takes to make (a clover) and how long it will last (a rainbow).

Other icons include a caution emoticon and a storage acorn that lets the reader know if what they make can be frozen.
