A Year in Bread
A Year in Bread is a calendar/recipe book created for the Blaffer Art and Design gift shop. Each month has a different hand-drawn illustration of specific kind of bread, and a recipe to accompany it. This calendar was inspired by a vintage cookbook from the 50’s that my grandmother shared with me.
This calendar is printed on cream paper to give it a more vintage, 50’s feel. Additionally, every page is perforated so that, after tearing off the calendar at the end of each month, you are left with a cookbook at the end of the year!
Each month has a different hand-drawn illustration of the bread associated with that month. These illustrations were done in a high contrast, one-color style to reference vintage cookbook stylizations.
The front of each page has an illustration of the bread of the month along with a calendar for you to write down important dates. The back of each page has a recipe for the bread of the month and some history behind that bread.
