Kline & Dine
Art Direction, Design, Identity, Content, Production, Print, Web
Seven Elm worked with author Matthew Kline to art direct and design Kline & Dine, a 350+ page hardcover memoir-cookbook featuring more than 100 recipes. The project brought together narrative and culinary content into a cohesive editorial system—balancing long-form storytelling with a clear, structured recipe framework. We developed the book’s visual identity, typographic system, and layout, establishing a rhythm that moves seamlessly between memoir and recipe. The work extended through full print production, including art direction of photography and styling, and close coordination with printers. In parallel, we designed and developed a companion website that translates the book’s editorial voice into a digital experience, creating a cohesive system across print and web.
