Here are some of my favorite spreads from the next issue of Marinalife. I am pleased with how the Florida Keys layout turned out, and the San Diego layout started to grow on me.

Another issue of Marinalife magazine is underway. This will be my second issue designing the magazine, after tackling a complete redesign the first time around three months ago. San Diego is a featured destination in the upcoming issue, scheduled for delivery in early January.

I’m headed out to San Diego shortly after the magazine arrives, so this story greatly interests me. Below is the opening spread of the current design.

I’ve also included a two-page spread for a featured marina in the magazine. Hawk’s Cay, somewhere in the Florida Keys.

I’m not sure what my thoughts are on either of these designs right now. Pretty straight-forward. The type is very difficult to read in the San Diego image, but it shows up fine in print. I like the Hawk’s Cay layout, but it isn’t anything exciting or original. The client likes it, and that is the most important thing.
