I attended a talk made by the creator of Anorak magazine,
Cathy Olmedillas. I am interested in anything editorial so this was a good opportunity to gain some knowledge. Anorak is a well established children's magazine, founded in 2006, which is very illustration based. I enjoy Anorak's overall aesthetic and feel as though this is appropriate for their target audience. I personally do enjoy illustration when I get the time to do it, and so I found the talk very inspiring. I also like any project which delivers a real sense of enjoyment and fun.
Cathy was extremely passionate about Anorak magazine, which is why I feel it has gained so much success over the years. A project without passion cannot thrive.
Cathy has also branched out further, and created Dot magazine. She felt Anorak was only suitable for older children and excluded those of a younger age. This just shows the dedication in expanding on an already successful magazine and choosing to try and include a wider audience.
