This document provides details on the design of a set of 8 recipe cards shaped like landmarks of Italy. It discusses choosing fonts, color schemes, image sizes and placements on the cards. The same fonts, mainly Arial, will be used across all cards for consistency. Images will be limited in size due to the landmark shapes. The document includes an example card design for a Three-Herb Cherry Tomato Pizza, with the title, ingredients, method, and image layout shown. All cards will follow the same general template but with shapes customized to the featured landmark.

Little room for images on
the landmark shaped
cards.
The main text on the recipe cards
(Arial)
3. It maybe a good idea to have
dishes that relate to the certain
theme. For example, the leaning
tower of Pisa being a long shaped
recipe card with the Pizza as the
food.
Due to the lack of space as the cards will be the same
shape as the landmarks, the image quantity will be
limited, meaning one big image of a few small ones
should be considered. Also have to take into account
it does not want to look crowded and needs to be
clear for the reader.
Having Neutral colours is important as the
cards are intended to apply for a mass
market and not a specific demographic.
Having Arial as the main font for the
ingredients and method is important as it is
clear and easy to read.
Plain colours will be used as it does not
want to be too bright as it might come
across as more of a younger product.
Choosing the title font is important as this is one of
the main aspects seen first by the customer. This
will remain the same throughout each card to keep
consistency.
4. Flat Plans
This is just an example of how the card templates
will be made, the final ones will be done through
Adobe Photoshop and an accurate shape.
From the design stage to the composition. Now it
is important where everything is placed on the
card.
5. Each Card will be a
different landmark
meaning a different
composition will have
to be looked upon.
In this example, the main
image would be located in
the middle of the card.
The title for each
recipe card will be
found at the top. This
will be in the same
font and size
throughout. Above
the recipe title will be
the name of the
cards
Ingredients for the
recipe card will be
found before the
image and set out
so it is clear to
read.
The Method on how
to cook to recipe will
be found at the
bottom of this and
underneath the
image.
The font chosen for the
text will also be the same
in each of the 8 cards
made. This will be to
show how the business
keeps to its standards of
high quality and to
portray professionalism in
consistency

The Food needed for

eight cards made.
Here the food section
will be split. One side
of the area will be the
actual image with a
small section providing
further information
about the food.
The background of the
cards will change in
colour but not
dramatically. The
neutral colours need to
be kept in order to
keep all of the target

throughout the cards. The use
of the dark green in the
title, the bright red ingredients
and the white border as well as
the nutritional information

each of the cards, however

When the image has been
imported into Photoshop, the
outline of the shape will be
made and copied into a
Microsoft Word document.
From this the appropriate
information will be added onto
it.
All of the cards will be different
sizes so it is important to keep
the vegetarian society logo in
the same area (The bottom right
of each card design)
