The process of doing a presentation as a team was more difficult than I first anticipated, mainly because our work is all very different within the group. We all had publishing and other interests in music, sport, etc in common and me and Kat had experiences working with children so we decided to pitch a children's magazine similar to Anorak, basing each issue around a theme. The sections within the magazine would also be focused around a particular topic, for example we could have a historical page and a sports page. These things all link to the potential for children's art fairs and workshops. As a project this was a lot of fun to consider, the work we did around researching different magazines made me think about where ours could fit in. Although Anorak already exists, this is one of the only magazines that is aimed at children of both genders, whilst encouraging creativity.
A reason for our proposed magazine was to give an outlet to children to make things and still be creative, opposing and acknowledging the cuts regarding the funding of arts in schools. Promotion would include an on-line presence, art fairs, school/library visits and children's birthday parties. These things would all be inclusive of educational themes that we could pull from the national curriculum, hopefully making it a fun and exciting way for children to learn. Sports day style activities and music would also be a part of the activities available at events.
