How do you put a spring in the step of a successful magazine? Make it stronger, healthier? Begin with an open-minded publisher who didn’t want to look like or be like any other magazine: she wants to look like … well, the community she serves. A makeover was ordered up, with the direction to preserve the character of the original product. We infused it with some fresh energy through the use of Gotham, a modern, clean typeface that has its bold, strong side when called upon for the heavier work of drawing your attention; a colour palette that reflects Seaside’s environment – steely grey to shore up a vibrant, turquoise-infused array of headers and subheads; topped off with a healthy injection of fresh-faced white to marry the two. The next logical step was to give more real estate to Jo-Ann Way's striking photography that help tell the stories. No fancy embellishments to tart up the old girl: just a nudge toward a sleeker, more sophisticated look to showcase her strengths in clean, open spaces. In the end, the challenge became the reward. It’s been a pleasure. jennifer bowles
I was born and raised in Victoria and attended St. Margaret’s School. I fell in love with the food and beverage industry at the age of 14 when I took my first job as a dishwasher at a local fish and chip café. With over 20 years experience in the industry, including owning my own restaurant and working for some the world’s top hotel chains, I continue to fuel my passion by writing the monthly Island Dish column. Featuring recipes from classic comfort food to more adventurous world cuisine, researching and writing the column keeps me inspired! This month I get a little bolder with spicy chilies! Well-known for some of their restorative properties, chilies are a multipurpose food that are super tasty as you will see! Enjoy. dr. shelley breadner
As a veterinarian, I put my heart into my work every day, opening up to each animal that comes to me for care and compassion. It brings music to my soul, and I couldn't do it any other way. So, it was apropos to write about heart health for Seaside Magazine's February issue. By sharing some core points (“cor” being Latin for heart ) on maintaining heart health, I hope I may encourage many hearts to beat a little stronger. Of course, chocolate for you (and if you remember, dark chocolate for me!), but NO chocolate for dogs or kitties! Whatever your favourite love song, sing it for your little companion, and your two hearts will beat as one!

The weather – all of us live with it, breathe it and talk about it … but few write about it. So I am excited to write about the weather in Seaside Magazine, along with some humour and life thrown in. As a child I looked at the sky in amazement, and now as a scientist with the Ministry of Environment and an instructor in Meteorology at Royal Roads University, I continue to pursue this passion. My wife and I have been blessed with two wonderful children, and over the past 22 years we have experienced the full spectrum of West Coast weather while enjoying life in this incredible place. Take a look at this month’s article about weather alerts but be warned: it contains nuts.
