Minnesota Homegrown Cookbook for Renewing the Countryside
Course: Understanding Contexts (Spring 2008)
Challenge: To create a site to accompany the release of the Minnesota Homegrown Cookbook that would promote sales and inform visitors of upcoming book events while providing a sneak peak at what the book had to offer and direct customers to point of purchase site.
Solution: My group designed and built a site with a layout that mimicked the cookbooks look and feel. An interactive map feature highlights the various regions and flavors of Minnesota while also acting as an online table of contents. We created ways for potential customers to get a sneak peak at the book before buying it by providing a free sample story and recipe directly from the book. The client was very pleased with the result and as you can see the site is still live and a functioning part of their main website.
