Don't beat yourself up too much for not being exactly like your fav magazines, they get a whole lot more room to play with ! But the inspiration is incredible because I love how detailed the spreads are. congrats on the new issue <3
THANKS RILEYYY <333 it's so true!!! And I am tempted to play with a BIG magazine size for Pouch one of these issues 👀 not issue 3 lol. But maybe issue 4?? 🤔🤔🤔 or a maybe one-off little experiment!! (...OK yes that's a much better idea 😂)
Omg I know, the detail is TRULY mind-blowing!! I love how much care is put into every little corner of these magazines 💞
Will always feel so special that I got to be in issue 1 (always happy to help!!!) — but wow is it cool to see all the variety and fun in issue 2. I’m so glad you worked through the breakdown era to make those journal entries pop!!!
And as always, I love reading the process behind it. I never would’ve known you didn’t already have the thematic groupings in mind when you made the layout! They feel really natural.
And sooooo clever to use references for the layouts — we used this technique with old issues of Antiques when I worked there; sometimes our designer would lift them and give them a twist from issues 20,30,or 80 years prior!
LOL omg the breakdown era, the accuracy 😂😂 I'm so glad that you enjoyed the reading about the process!!! I have a feeling that every issue might be a uniquely wild ride 😆
OMG that is so cool to know you did this with Antiques, too! Makes me want to further expand my magazine design reference collections...!
I soooooo appreciate you reading, submitting, and supporting!!! Thanks as always for being the BEST <333
I'm excited to pick this up! I enjoyed you walking us through your process, although I hate that it was so rough for this issue. If you ever need someone to bounce ideas off of, please reach out!! I used to be a magazine editor for a national (food) magazine and also got my undergrad degree in magazine journalism and would be happy to help (for free!).
OMGGGG thank you Phoebe!!! Wowowow I would absolutely *LOVE* to talk with you, I have soooo many questions 😂 I will definitely reach out!! (It'll be a few weeks since I'm letting my brain rest LOL but I am so so excited to talk to you about magazines!! THANK YOU 🫶)
Pouch issue 2 is SO GREAT and I am so in love with how stuffed it is with journal layouts and reading your process and lessons here is doubly generous!!! Thank you for everything you share with us Victoria! Can't wait to celebrate you at the launch party YAY
THANKS CAROLYN <333 I really appreciate you reading all my long posts!! 😆 It's so fun to share these learnings with others, and I'm really glad that you are enjoying them too 💖
I am sooooo excited for the launch party toooo!! YAYY 🥳🥳🥳
I love your problem solving, I am very sorry you experienced a meltdown, I totally understand it. However with all the troubles and tribulations you came with the issue that is fantastic and it shows amazing growth and progress and is a pleasure to hold and read. I loved it!
Thanks so much Anna!! 🥹🥹 Yess I feel like the struggles were worth it 😂 I really appreciate your kind words and support 💖 I'm so glad you enjoyed the issue!!
I really enjoyed reading the behind the scenes and how you approached each challenge! Excited to pick up my copy of Pouch and share it with friends ☺️
The real smile I had on my face reading that issue 3 is on the horizon!
Side note, these are some of my favorite emails to receive. It might be too hard to encapsulate, but could be a fun meta piece to include in Pouch 3.
