Editorial design and layout for a Danish cookbook focused on everyday family meals, simple recipes, and a warm, approachable tone.
Oveview
Madfar – inspiration til hverdagskøkkenet is a practical and engaging cookbook by Danish food blogger Thomas Farsinsen, tailored for families and everyday cooking. The book features approachable, clear instructions alongside warm imagery from the author’s own kitchen, making family meals simple, enjoyable, and delicious.
I was responsible for the complete editorial design and layout of the printed publication. I developed a user-friendly grid structure, selected legible typography, and used color and image placement to enhance the book’s friendly, authentic feel.
