GFF Magazine
Launching the First Edition of GFF (Gluten-free Forever)
Three food-loving print media veterans combined our passions, creativity, and years of media experience to make an independent magazine that bridged the gap between captivating, world-class food magazines and gluten-free living. The publication featured original recipes so delicious and inspired they redefined reader’s expectations; riveting articles on trends, products, people, and places worth knowing about; an authentic, playful perspective that celebrated how deeply influential food is on our health and happiness; and gorgeous, game-changing photography, design, and print quality.
I created the brand identity, magazine design, and layout and managed the print production. My prototypes helped raise $94K in a Kickstarter campaign to fund the magazine launch, distributed nationally.
