Graphic Design
El Sabor Del Valle is a cultural food guide inspired by the cuisine of Spring Valley and Lemon Grove. The project combines photography, editorial design, and a custom visual identity to highlight local restaurants and introduce readers to the stories and communities behind them.
The visual system draws from traditional Mexican Talavera tilework, using floral patterns, deep blues, warm orange accents, and Cormorant Garamond to create a connection between food, culture, and place. The final guide organizes restaurant features, photography, and recommendations into a cohesive editorial experience.
