For my InDesign semester final, I decided to design a cookbook for my mom. She loves to cook and made a cookbook years ago, but the design is very basic and plain so she always wanted to redo it in a more visually appealing way. Thanks to this class, I was able to do this for her. Basically, for this project, I imagined she “hired” me to design her cookbook, and I am super excited about my current progress.
For this project I successfully:
Created a master page for the recipes and for the outline
Created custom color swatches
Utilized and organized multiple layers
Placed a text file from MS Word
Used text effects
Made text wrap beside an image
Utilized character styles, transparency, and tint
