Off to London!

This isn't a really real post, just wanted to say that I'm off to London tomorrow, and due to the exceptionally busy week I've just had, I don't have any posts queued up, so there will probably be a bit of a gap in posting.

In the meantime, you can check out the Facebook page for Hashtag Magazine, the new digital magazine that I'm launching in eight days with some of my friends (because we don't have enough to do). A large part of why we decided to launch it though was because we all wanted to build our design portfolios, so rather than doing loads of mock magazine layouts, we figured we could write a bit of copy, and actually produce something real and complete! So the magazine is heavily focused on design and less on text.

HASHTAG is a young and trendy online magazine launched in 2014 by five girls based in Edinburgh. We’re obsessed with fashion, food and TV shows, and we’re here to share the fun with beautifully designed articles! For you, we shall travel, eat, drink, pet pugs, and empty our wallets in stylish stores. You can count on us to bring you la crème de la crème of the current trends! 

Also, we presented our pitches in Interactive Media today, and they were offering a bottle of champagne for the best presentation... and I won! :) This is the Prezi I used for my presentation, and you can see all my posts about the project over on my tumblr. My course leader is really encouraging me to actually go forward with the app, everyone on the panel thought it was a really viable product that I could definitely actually make and sell. I'm not sure I have the time or energy, but its pretty awesome anyways.
