Behind the Scenes with In Touch Magazine
Behind-the-Scenes 01.20.17
We recently checked in with Metaleap Creative about what they have been up to and they filled us in on their recent work with Christian publication, In Touch Magazine. Creative Director, José Reyes, and Associate Creative Director, Eric Capossela, from Metaleap Creative sat down with In Touch Magazine Editor-in-Chief, Cameron Lawrence, and Managing Editor, Jamie Hughes, to discuss what it means to design for a publication with the motto: "Thoughtful Faith. Devoted Living."
