Week 1
As part of the Absolute:ly team I must come up with various stories including pictures and solid ideas for the upcoming weeks and pitch them during a Monday Feature’s meeting.
During this week I gathered photos for a feature to be published on October 2nd on Fur and Leather. I collected research and took photos of various clothing in River Island, Primark and New Look and wrote the first draft for my piece.
Week 2
Monday 30th September – Sophie Webb, our Fashion editor, gave us a full debrief on our roles and showed us how to use the editing software, Fireworks CS6. After discussing our stories with her and getting useful tips we then went into a feature’s meeting to share our upcoming stories with the group.
Tuesday 1st October – After many hours of editing I had finished my image and article to be published on the Absolute:ly Magazine site.
Here is a link to my story!

Wednesday 2nd October – My article was published and I am awaiting feedback tomorrow in our next meeting.
Improvements for next time:
- Bigger images
- Clearer text
- More colour in image
I really enjoyed creating my first article for Absolute:ly and I hope to have many more coming soon!
