Design Challenge: The main difficulties arose with the selection of the most appropriate photos. But since there were no angles necessary for this design, it was decided to make a professional photo session for each collection. At this stage there was a difficulty in transmitting authentic colors and textures.
But thanks to the game of lighting and professional processing, I achieved a realistic view of each subject.
Research: As a result of detailed familiarization and comparative analysis of all collections of utensils by this manufacturer, the most suitable spices, herbs and vegetables were selected, which complemented the design of the catalog and highlighted the advantages of each collection.
I used the design with two main colors - white and deep red. The most collections are dark or black, they go well with that colors.
Inspiration: The beauty of the collections inspired me to such a presentation catalog. I wanted to show the advantage and uniqueness of each collection, its difference from others.

There is a section with classic aluminum cookware, which the company has been producing since 1954 at the end of the catalog. Recommendations for the care of each type of collection are described on the last pages and a sheet for notes finish the catalog.
