Easy to navigate the pages and sections with the footers guiding the way. The intense subject matter is broken up with the blue headers and the black subheads making it easy to find the information needed. Part sections are defined by the photos of Texas (sourced from Adobe Stock), breaking up the text heavy 780 page book .")

I chose a clean, clear and concise layout for this project. Business people are drawn to this style and it's very effective in getting to the point.

The first section takes the reader through the events of Maple's life up to age 17. From her first drawing (supplied by author) at age 5 to a police report, school papers, letters, email and more.
The chapter start pages are inspired by the story of rescuing their horses in the middle of the night lit by the full moon.
For the ebook I exported each of the front section pages as separate art files so I could anchor them on the pages.")

The background of the menu are abstract mountains and the vintage fonts and images give the menu a distinctive vibe that matches the restaurant's. Menu is in both Italian and English. The images help in understanding the headers.")

Imagine sitting out on the cabana sipping your smoothie and enjoying the tropical breeze. That is the feel I wanted for this cafe.")

Sides are included with both sandwiches and plates so I placed in the center for easy ordering. Meats, which have the highest profit margin, are the inside flap that customers see first.")

I took his description and came up with this! I love the lower case titles that contrast with the traditional font used for the body.")
