Anorak

I attended the talk today delivered by Cathy Olmedillas, owner, editor and art director of award winning childrens publication Anorak. The magazine is only published four times a year, with every issue having a different theme (inspired by the British National Curriculum) to inspire and encourage kids to tap into their natural creativity and learn while having fun. Each edition includes plenty of beautifully illustrated stories, games and activities perfect for kids!



The task given to us was to come up with a workshop for their upcoming even. This is something I don't think I'd be very good at and none of my peers were interested either, so a collaboration wasn't an option. Although I don't wish to do the task, I did find the talk interesting. Each issue includes education and activity based illustration, something I've brought in with my own work. I also like the idea that each issue has a different theme. I've used a similar concept with one of my Extended Practice briefs.
