Project Development: Changing Beauty Noted to a digital magazine

Due to time constraints and I have decided that I need to consider changing Beauty Noted to a digital magazine. Although this is really disappointing to me as I really wanted a printed outcome, I'm hoping that I can still capture the feeling of a printed publication through the design of the magazine. I have also realised that being available online will make the magazine accessible to a broader audience, which will definitely have a positive impact on the potential growth of the magazine, especially while it is new and still trying to build up readership. I will still be creating a website, but instead of being able to purchase the printed magazine from there, readers will be able to download a PDF magazine. An additional benefit of this is readability on iPads or phones.

The reason I have chosen to go with a downloadable PDF instead of a online/webpage magazine is that it still allows me the freedom to play around with the design as much as I like and to lay the magazine out as if it would be printed. This way, if I do end up having time to print or if I ever want a printed copy in the future, I won't have to completely redesign the project in order to do so. I need to speak to John about how to set up a download link for my PDF, to ensure it is really easy, and looks professional to the readers.
