Jump Magazine Illustrations

Over the last few months I have been working on illustrations for Jump Magazine jumpmag.co.uk/

from the website:


"Jump! Mag – To inspire, educate and entertain in a safe and girl-positive environment.

 

Founder and editor, Lynn Schreiber started the magazine after becoming frustrated with the available print media for girls, much of which is a mere advertising vehicle for reality TV celebrities and US teen sit-coms, interspersed with “reviews” of latest console games.

She wanted to provide varied and informative content, and assembled a team of writers with experience in science and technology, history and art, literature and media.

The magazine will encourage and support both girls and boys, and send a message that there is more to life for girls than the newest pink and sparkly lip gloss.

It will feature fun articles and creative craft ideas, personal and school/career advice, insights into careers that they may not have considered, articles about children around the world and interactive content, some of it written by their peers. We shall feature female role models – not celebrities, but sportswomen, archaeologists, engineers, counsellors and councillors.

We are always on the look out for new ideas and contributors so if you would like to help make Jump! magazine a real alternative to the current print magazines for girls, do get in touch."

So as you can see, Jump magazine sounds like an exciting new direction for girls magazines and I am very excited to be involved! If you know any young pople who would like to read or even contribute, please send them to visit the site as the more interest it gathers, the more likely it becomes that we will see it in print.
