I also had to make everything easily legible. Using Photoshop, I created custom composites for each and every background of each page. By doing this I had full control of where the content would go and how it would be spaced. I also used Illustrator to create the vector imagery like the dragon, lamps, chopsticks etc., and compiled it all together with InDesign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1243\" src=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-cover.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Chinese New Year Cookbook Cover\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-cover.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-cover-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-cover-824x1024.jpg 824w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-cover-768x955.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-contents.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese New Year Cookbook table of contents\" class=\"wp-image-1618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-contents.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-contents-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-contents-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-mapo.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese New Year Cookbook spicy tofu dish recipe\" class=\"wp-image-1620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-mapo.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-mapo-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-mapo-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-recipes.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese New Year Cookbook stir fry and spring rolls recipes\" class=\"wp-image-1625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-recipes.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-recipes-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-recipes-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese New Year Cookbook fresh ingredients list\" class=\"wp-image-1626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-ingredients.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-ingredients-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mccann.mgdstudent.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cookbook-ingredients-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project was a challenge of creating a dual-spread, bleed booklet for personal favorite recipes!
