Brief

Concept

Intern Magazine tasked groups of us to come up for a

concept for an upcoming zine, which had a critical point
of difference.

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 visually
and 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.

Research

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.

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.

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.

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.
