Local Sports Journal

Every month, I work closely with the team to gather the necessary content including: photos, stories, and advertisements. Together, we create a cohesive magazine that blends the excitement of current sports with a respectful nod to the past.

Each issue follows a consistent format from the cover design featuring a standout image from a recent event or a prominent local athlete. Followed by the current events section dedicated to the season's sports with a dynamic layout with bold, modern fonts and action-packed images of recent high school games or events. To round out the design, a more traditional design is used for the historical feature that features more black-and-white images paired with thoughtful, well-organized storytelling.

The client appreciates the clean, professional look of the magazine and the balance between highlighting the current sports and preserving local sports history. They also value my ability to meet tight deadlines and deliver a high-quality product each month. After the final approval of the layout, I ensure all materials are print-ready and formatted for the printer.

I deliver the packaged files along with a print-ready PDF to the assigned print house and the Chief Editor . This allows the staff at Local Sports Journal to use parts of the monthly issue across their platforms.

With an established workflow, I’m able to deliver each issue on time with a quick turnaround. My familiarity with the client’s brand and content preferences allows me to efficiently manage the entire production process, ensuring that every issue of the magazine maintains the high standards the community expects. This partnership enables the Local Sports Journal to focus on growing its readership while I handle the creative side, ensuring a seamless and reliable publication every month.

Whether the client expands to digital distribution or introduces a special edition, our established working relationship positions me as the ideal partner for a fast and efficient turnaround.
