Unique Properties: The main idea: to put an internet food blog on paper.
The recipes are creative yet simple, presented by means of impressive photos and lively typography. The advantages of print over the web are played out haptically and conceptually. The layout plays with and breaks viewing habits, visual tension and surprise accompany the reader through the magazine.

Tags: Magazine, Photography, Typography
Production Technology: recycled paper made of birch, hp indigo digital printing
Design Challenge: A visually influenced magazine that does not get lost in the flood of many cooking magazines. A unique selling point was found through the design and photography.
Research: Many of us have more time for ourselves at home this year. Your own kitchen will once again become a playground for creativity. The magazine should be a source of inspiration and motivation for more activity at home. Some recipes are very simple and thus have a low entry barrier even for beginners. The original context of a cooking magazine, following a recipe, is being questioned. The aesthetics of the ingredients and the arrangement on the plate are paramount.
Inspiration: Everything we do or don't do - good and bad taste is always present. One of Austria's most successful food blogs focuses on good taste. And this is what her 5th magazine "better than perfect" is all about.
Project Duration: The project started in july 2020 and finished in december 2020.
Operation Flow: The magazine is intended to inspire and encourage you to cook yourself. The range extends from very simple to more demanding recipes - so there is something for everyone. An ingredients index closes the magazine and also serves as a decision-making aid when selecting recipes or as a shopping list.
