AWA DANCE
Looking for a Graphic Designer to shape our Girls’ Festival Magazine in Canva
We are preparing the very first Girls in Dance Festival (28 July 2025). We’re producing a festival magazine that will be distributed on the day and post-event to around 1,500 girls across the Midlands. The aim is to create something bold, beautiful, and empowering that reflects the spirit of the festival, using our colourful brand.
We’ve already started and have most of the written content ready, but visually it still needs cohesion, creativity and the kind of energy that will really connect with our audience of teenage girls.
We’re looking for support from a visual designer who can help us shape the look and feel of the magazine, something bold, beautiful and empowering. It needs to be created using Canva, as our team uses this platform for all our communications and resources, and it will allow us to build on the design in the future. We aim to send the magazine to print in early June.
Success for us would be a visually striking, print-ready magazine that captures the energy of the day, empowers young readers, and communicates the values of the festival. It will be a legacy piece, that continues to make an impact long after the festival.
