Brief

Intern Magazine tasked groups of us to come up for a concept for an upcoming zine, which had a critical point of difference.

Concept

We decided to create a concept based around the idea of a educational childrens monthly zine. We came up with the name, Lightbulb, which suggests education, learning and new concepts both visuallyand through its definition semiotically.

Research

We looked into various other childrens magazines and zines to see their takes on the genre. As well as different illustrators that had a more tactile approach to drawing, this was a key concept to the illustration; it had to be something that looks visually interesting as well as looking as if it felt interesting.

Development

We decided in our group that our first issue would be based around Space due to its relevancy to the asteroid landing and mars rover at the time of the workshop.

The book would be there to inform children in a simple manner through short illustrated stories about the big ideas in life hence the tagline: short stories and big ideas. Captured below the title of the zine.

We were targeting this book at around about the ages of 6-10 as this is about the time in a childs life where these ideas wouldbe most easily sunk in.

Final Images

The magazine can also be see to target parents of said children who they them selves would see this book as a collectable to read for them selves and appreciate the artwork within and stories.
