My GIF was for Bon Appetit Magazine. For me, Bon Appetit has a polished and sophisticated aesthetic which I wanted to capture. It is a food magazine so I wanted to bring out that in my GIF. It is also formulaic and non-experimental in the best possible way – it relies on structured recipe guidesContinue reading “2/24 Weekly Blog”
