I would like to give you some information regarding our planning for the near future. We recently employed a young graphic designer from London and we are currently working non-stop in re-designing the magazine and transforming it into a full featured guide.
We are using the latest applications from adobe (Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign) to achieve this and have started experimenting with Adobe’s DPS Tools (Digital Publishing Suite) to create an interactive copy for tablets (and smartphones). This means we will have 2 publications in the future, one in print and one available for download from the app stores.
That also means that you will be able to add slideshows, videos, product catalogues and more to your existing advertising or event promotions or create new advertising just for the digital copy. We will have a demo version of the new layout and interactive magazine by the end of this month.
Those businesses that advertise on our maps will get included into the digital version of the magazine as well. More details will follow.
We also signed a contract with a freelance Copywriter who will re-write the whole content of the magazine. We will also add new sections like what to do with kids, what to do on rainy days, upcoming movies, interviews with locals (that’s you) and a list of their favourite places on the island and many more, turning the magazine into a complete travel guide.
In the meantime we also had a few meetings with Delicious Webdesign, a very professional web development company and on Tuesday we will sign a contract with them regarding the development and maintenance of our website.
I will give you more details during our meeting. I will also use this opportunity to update/complete your information for the business listings on our website and to arrange the coupons (barter) for our Giveaways campaign.
