THE JUSTIN TIMES
This magazine explores and celebrates recent highlights and achievements surrounding the JUSTIN vineyard and winery. Based in Paso Robles, CA, this award-winning winery also includes a magnificent restaurant, which has just been awarded it’s first Michelin Star, Green Michelin Star, and a Forbes Travel Guide Five - Star rating. I had the opportunity to work on the team that designed the 2023 Spring/Summer issue of JUSTIN’s member exclusive magazine, celebrating these achievements. I would like to say a special thanks to my Creative Director- Michael Ceraulo, and the Associate Design Director on this project - Andres Lombardo.

PROCESS
The process and ideation for this issue of the JUSTIN TIMES began how I like to begin all my work - on paper with sketches. Once the sketches produced a good result, I began building the files digitally. Finally, I printed and created prototypes with my team to see how the work looked. We reviewed it for color, resolution, flow and content; then we marked it up and made those edits digitally once more.
