REEF’s editorial spread in Blue Magazine Japan, spotlighting legendary surfer Rob Machado. The goal was to blend REEF’s coastal lifestyle ethos with Rob’s soulful surf legacy, creating a visual narrative that resonated with the Japanese surf community. I curated imagery and layout design that felt organic and cinematic—capturing Rob’s personality and featuring the product. The copy read “made for water” This was inspired by both Rob as a surfer and the product as a water-friendly sandal. The result was a timeless print piece that celebrated authenticity, adventure, and the spirit of REEF through one of its most iconic ambassadors.
