Houston CityBook has presented a uniquely rewarding opportunity for Patrick and Evan, who have been the media outlet’s creative director and managing editor, respectively, since 2016. The bimonthly print magazine and lifestyle-news website focuses on Houston food, entrepreneurs, wellness and more.
The duo is charged with the entire process, from creating templates and conceptualizing 14-page features, to writing punchy copy and longform pieces. The fashion shoots present some of the most intensive work: coordinating models, booking hair and makeup, and having clothing shipped in from fashion houses on both coasts.
Additional tasks include configuring everything for the printer, and also to maximize impact on the website, in e-blasts, and on socials. It’s proof that Patrick and Evan can be trusted to take ownership of large-scale projects and see them through to completion — and then some.
