Re/source: A beautifully illustrated food and lifestyle journal

This new, beautifully illustrated food and lifestyle journal, Re/source, has been developed by Tung and the editorial team at Acquired Taste on behalf of S.Pellegrino. Each issue is packed with in-depth interviews with leading chefs, restaurant profiling, and food-inspired stories.

With engaging content, a contemporary layout design and stunning illustration, Re/source is the publication for American culinary inspiration. It effectively targets an audience of the youthful and food-savvy.

Toronto-based, graphic design agency Tung works within the fields of art, culture and commerce. It was founded in 2014 by Emily Tu and Edmond Ng – hence Tung – and was developed out of the desire to "create honest, intelligent and beautifully crafted work".

The website explains: "We take a grounded and considered approach to design. Our process is decidedly personal – we collaborate with our clients to create thoughtful and compelling responses that reflect their needs and values. Over the last few years, we have created award-winning identities, packaging, publications, printed material, and websites for a wide range of clients – both large and small – in the public, private and cultural sectors."
