In charge of the design for The Comic children's section of The Guardian newspaper. This involved commissioning of photographers and illustrators, coming up with ideas for features and then designing and preparing the Comic for print. Worked closely with the Editor of the Comic and the weekend section Art Director. Really loved this job - especially moments like being able to design a mini Guardian with a masthead of its own which we encouraged children to send in articles for. The Comic folded in 2009.
