Twin Cities METRO Goes Foodie
This is our first ever "food issue" where most of magazine was dedicated to the topic of food. Our readers do love guides, so we do a lot of them. Here is the main feature story which is another guide, but we actually did some good planning on how we were going to break it up with the interior and super close up shots of the different dishes from each main restaurants. Got the super close up idea from bon appetit's Thanksgiving issue.
As far as the cover goes, we took a big chance with a black background and a single cover line. Will it pay off on newsstands? Not sure, but I sure love the way it looks.
Some of the interior spreads from the issue:

We'll note the credits and the publication and shine a little light on the latest and greatest in publication design.
