Kids Answers Magazine
I was invited by the Editor-in-Chief of Kids Answers to assist with the design of the magazine. In addition to editorial layout, I contributed illustrations for several issues, including Kids Answers 20.4 and 20.3. Altogether, I contributed to the production of four magazines annually.
Kids Answers, 20.4
I enjoyed designing for Kids Answers (20.4). Finding high-quality photos of the Portuguese Man O’ War and balancing the copy was a fun and exciting challenge. I also enjoyed creating illustrations for Big Questions, such as the “Why Is the Sky Blue?” illustration. Another highlight was working on the Physics of Fun illustrations, where I got to create playful scenes with little people having fun.
Kids Answers, 20.3
Do you know how difficult it can be to tell a raven from a crow? I had a blast designing for Kids Answers 20.3, especially the layout for “Created Creature.” One of the most entertaining challenges was sorting through Getty Images to find photos that clearly distinguished ravens from crows. Surprisingly, the two are easy to confuse—even for some talented photographers!
I also enjoyed creating illustrations for “Big Questions,” including Some Scientists Believe the World Is Expanding—What Does That Mean and Is It True? and Why Isn’t a Clover a Good Example of the Trinity? For this issue, I experimented more with digital illustration on the iPad Pro, creating a cast of playful little creatures, including a raven in a cowboy hat, a hedgehog chatting with a cat, and, of course, a potato.
