Jamaica: A Love Story

Jamaica: A Love Story

Jamaica: A Love Story

In this editorial, “Blanco’s Bar”, NYC creative Carly Aimi and Jamaican photographer,
Ken Steamaz, present a visual essay depicting personal style that begins with personal comfort.
It’s a story of fishermen, friendship, and flip-flops.

The design direction is inspired by the landscape, colors, and community of Treasure Beach, Jamaica.
Combining photography with a vibrant layout and type treatment, I designed a lifestyle editorial that
evokes TIDAL’s carefree spirit.  The design package is expanded across the
website’s journal page, email, and social media.

TYPOGRAPHY AND LETTERING

The type system is informed by the signage, and the hand-drawn typography found in the areas of Treasure Beach, Jamaica. 
I mixed the soft and approachable character of Francesco typeface with an expressive lettering treatment that stands out.
