Bio
Katie Scott
Maddi is one of the most hard working people I have ever met, and this dedication clearly shows in the high quality of her work. We both worked on Personal Trainer Magazine, with me doing the editorial and Maddi the design work. She is very creative and can help turn any idea into a stunning visual, often putting into place perfectly what you had imagined. She can cater to any style, is very loyal and is always on hand to answer any questions or queries you may have. I loved the designs she came up with for Personal Trainer and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She would be an asset to any editorial team as she also writes very well, doing the occasional web review for me too.

Maddi was an absolute pleasure to work with. She loves a challenge and is always brimming with ideas. Wise beyond her years, Maddi is creative yet has a practical approach to work and is a pleasure to work with and manage. She will do whatever it takes to get the job done and done well. She's great at taking direction, excels at layouts, branding and designing marketing materials.

Dec 2014 - Mar 2016
At Magic Fountain Media I am solely responsible for the design of all print titles, ranging from two bi-monthly, regional luxury lifestyle magazines, to a monthly fitness title aimed at both consumers and professionals within the industry. I have redesigned a title in conjunction for its launch to news stand, and also produced various marketing and promotional pieces for both brands. I have also worked on the company branding and initial website layout (psd files) for a national fitness directory. I work closely with the editorial team and find that this makes the process more cohesive, as I can asses what the editors want to achieve with a particular feature, and ensure that my layout meet their needs. Creation of all print ready pdfs and adverts • Maintaining a high standard of the magazines by ensuring all images and graphics are high resolution • Liasing proofs with clients and ensuring all changes to advertising and editorial copy are made • Arranging print dates • Signing off all files for print • Keeping flatplans up to date and ensuring all paid for advertising is correctly placed • Liasing with sales staff over any preferred placement, advert and advertorial specifications
