Cheese Cave
User Guides
Information & graphic design
Solution
I designed a series of bi-folds, hand-bound booklets, and a poster, outlining these methods and information.
Each bi-fold focused on a different cheese and had an individual dominant colour, inspired by the shade of its rind. For example, Mahon (below) is a cow’s milk cheese that is rubbed with paprika each week of maturation. This gives it a vibrant red colour, which I translated into the design. The cover of each featured its cheese in a repeating pattern, mirroring the way the cheeses sit in batches on shelves in traditional cheese caves.
The poster was created in a blueprint style, enforcing the idea that the tools you use are the foundations of crafting a cheese, from thermometers to brushes.
Brief
To accompany the mobile cheese cave, I needed engaging information design to communicate the very niche topic of cheese maturation to a new audience.
This had to include:
How to use the mobile cheese cave
How to document its use for the purpose of communal responsibility
How to taste cheese
Learn about the cheese producers
