A traditional collection of recipes, Taste.com. This is how many websites display recipes. It is quite boring and simple in appearance

This is Tumblr displaying a recipe. Very similar to Facebook, showing one recipe at a time on the page. Requires user to scroll down for further recipes. It is a very common method of displaying recipes.

Facebook displaying recipes. This is very conventional, displaying the recipe link above the photo with a collection of videos that demonstrates the recipe being made

Example from Instagram. This is a similar approach to what I want to achieve. The use of white space effective and the 3 x 3 grid with the images. I want to change this and somehow include the recipe with the image.

My original publication was a desert cookbook which contained watercolour illustrations instead of traditional photography. It is bright and colourful in nature and achieves the purpose of containing recipes. In my final website outcome, I chose to use Pinterest as a form of inspiration. I have collated my watercolour images, as well as sourced images, all having a similar type and colour palette. To create my cookbook into a digital form, I decided to collate all the imagery in a grid format. When hovered over a particular recipe, the user can scroll down to reveal the recipe that is associated with the image. This is still a very simple concept, but it does change the traditional ways of producing recipes digitally. My solution makes it very easy and quick to find recipes, based on the appearance of the image itself. Many recipe websites include the images and the name of the desert. If the user is interested, they click on the image and are navigated to another page. My solution eliminates this process, allowing them to simply scroll down and all the information they need is on one page. The display is also quite minimal to prevent users from becoming distracted from the recipe, so they can primarily focus on the information that is important. It also gives a clean and pristine image, which emphasise the brightness of the watercolour.
