DK US commissioned us to design Garden Grown by Julia Dzafic, a garden-to-table cookbook featuring over 100 colourful, easy-to-make, veggie-forward recipes, alongside practical gardening tips. The book was designed to celebrate fresh, family-friendly food while highlighting the joy of growing and cooking from your own garden.
Our role
We designed the cover and created the internal template for DK’s in-house team to carry through to final production. The clothbound cover with a central photograph strikes a balance between timeless design and contemporary appeal, giving the book strong on-shelf presence.
Balancing freshness and clarity
Our internal template established clear structures for recipes, gardening tips, and lifestyle features, ensuring the book feels easy to navigate while visually rich. Type choices, colour palette, and spacing were designed to reflect freshness and vibrancy, keeping the content approachable and practical.
Impact
Garden Grown has been well received by readers, praised for its combination of vibrant recipes and practical gardening guidance, with a design that makes it both beautiful and easy to use.
