After nearly seven years as Singletrack’s Art Director, Amanda leaves us next week as she starts a new role in the ultra-distance cycling scene.
Goodbye Amanda!
Amanda joined us fairly early in her mountain biking career, and jumped straight into both magazine design and product testing. During her time here she’s discovered the merits of socks, hated and then moved to clipless pedals, hated drop bars then become an ultra-gravelling and endurance queen, added her fair share of spinelines to our collection, and made ‘doodling’ an illustration for the most bizarre of briefs look effortless.
Her long-form stories have brought honesty and humour to the pages of Singletrack, as she and her Womb of Doom tackled a variety of adventures. As she heads off to her new role, we’ll miss her in the office but hope that she won’t disappear completely from the pages of Singletrack. Head to the comments to bid her farewell and share your favourite Amanda-isms.
Hello James!
The design of the print magazine is being taken over by James Vincent, whose photography – and occasional words – you will be familiar with. James is based in the Lake District and loves an arduous hike-a-bike followed by a descent of rocky jank. With years of design experience behind him, we’re looking forward to letting his creative juices flow, but will be doing our best not to agree to any bike rides with him.
We’re known for our wraparound covers. If you think you’ve got a shot that has cover potential, you can email it to art@singletrackworld.com for consideration. If you think you’ve got a potential magazine story, check out our guide to pitching to us.
