Blues Magazine was the official magazine of Birmingham City Football Club. My editor and I put together a 64 page monthly magazine for 2 years. The magazine was sold in the club shops, online and in various locations around the city of Birmingham. My role was to take the editorial content and design layouts from scratch. With every page being a blank canvas, it always pushed me to keep up with the latest design trends.Once a month we would visit the Birmingham City training ground, photograph a training session, attend press conferences and lastly interview and photograph management, players and other staff for upcoming articles. I often juggled work for both the magazine and newspapers with weekly deadlines to meet. Alongside the magazine I also looked after the website and online shop. I was the sole graphic designer for 2 years before it sadly came to the end of its contract.
