Art Director - Wedding Ideas Magazine

and well-stocked newsagents.
This content-rich, glossy magazine was A5 in size and produced every 4 weeks. Overflowing with the latest ideas for brides-to-be, the design needed to be impactful and eye-catching whilst showcasing the wide-ranging, fast-paced content.

When the technology became available, I also created the digital version of Wedding Ideas magazine. I added a range of interactive features and released the app to iTunes Connect for the magazine to be sold via
the App Store.
