The City Talking - Contacting

The City Talking is a magazine that I have identified, whose work of which I used as inspiration for OUGD504 Studio Brief 01. I wanted to find out more about the editorial process that the team go through when putting together each issue and whether it would be possible to do a placement with them. 

Initially I have contacted The City Talking through email, where I have been exchanging a number of emails with one of the writers, Jenn O'Brien. Through expressing my interest in their work and the editorial process, she went on to tell me that the design studio Rabbit Hole produced the brand guidelines and templates for them to use for each issue of the magazine. She also said that there is an 'in-house designer' at The City Talking which she could put me in touch with. Jenn also informed me of the opening week that the magazine are going to be holding once they get their new projects underway. 

The opening week is an event that I have requested to be up to date with as this would allow me to experience the environment that the team work in, as well as opening up the opportunity to interact with members of the team.
