Viva is a free lifestyle and culture magazine aimed at readers in Manchester and Cheshire. Back when the team were just starting out, I visited their small Northern Quarter office to help with some editorial and design work. Everything I've contributed so far can be found below.

i love Media City UK

One of my first tasks at team Viva was to visit the MediaCityUK to showcase it as part of the magazine's regular 'I Love...' feature.

I was given a tour of The Pie Factory, the very same soundstage that hosted 'The Royle Family', and by interviewing a member of their team I was able to put together the feature you see below. I also designed each page using Adobe InDesign.

Good to be bad - The razzies

Before visiting Viva, I had recently interviewed John Wilson, founder of anti-award show The Razzies which rewards Hollywood's worst offerings.

The Academy Awards were on the horizon, so I asked Viva if they'd be interested in running the piece as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek tie in. They were, so we did. Once again, I designed each page of the feature using Adobe InDesign.

shark finning

I was asked to pull together a piece on the shocking shark finning trade - something I knew very little about. So I gave The Shark Trust a call to find out a little more about this brutal, archaic and wholly unnecessary practice. I designed the layout of the piece too, again using Adobe InDesign.

viva manchester

What kind of Manc mag would Viva be if it didn't do a little bit of back-slapping? I wrote this piece highlighting a few of the city's most famous exports and the fame and fortune they've gone on to achieve since leaving the M61.
