I've worked extensively on Girl Talk, Immediate Media's market-leading title for 8-12 year old girls – in fact, it was the first magazine I ever designed a page for, back in 1995! They keep employing me, so I must be doing something right. After a spell doing regular covers and polybags while a new art editor was recruited, I now help out the regular team on an occasional basis. The pages below are from 2020-2021.

Polybag arwork is crucial to the success of children's titles – they're all carefully crafted and have EVERYTHING thrown at them.
