3D Paper Type and Cook Book Cover

PUBLICATION DESIGN | TYPE DESIGN

3D type created from paper strips, also known as paper quilling, is used to make a cover for a cookbook.

I am a passionate vegan and I wanted to create a vegan cookbook cover design. I also love papercrafts and quilling is one of my favorite crafts to do. I cut out colorful strips of paper, 1 cm in width, and twisted them to form swirls. I arranged them in a design than I had sketched lightly on a paper, in and around the word “VEGAN” that I had previously drawn and colored green. This created a 3D look on the type. I added some beans and chickpeas around the type to give it a more food-related look.

This project was recommended by my instructor John Beach to be entered in the Students’ Art Show held by UCLA Extension.
