Time For Kids produces classroom weeklies in three editions for grades K-6, covering serious news as well as kid-oriented stories. I served as art director of the two editions for older kids from 1999 to 2003, and freelanced there again in 2008 to fill in for the current AD, who was on leave.
Our challenge was to present a lot of information on a small canvas, with cover stories only one or two pages long. We varied headline treatments and layouts to fit the subject matter and to entice reluctant readers. We created most of our own charts and maps, but sometimes picked up information graphics from Time magazine.
