Prestel, Oishii!

Book design for ‘Oishii! Japanese Food Style’. This publication celebrates the visually striking aesthetics of Japanese food, from haute cuisine to vending machines. We went all out: custom stickers, six different typefaces, and a cover where we swapped process magenta for fluro pink.
