Life's a Pitch - group meeting + rationale

Here we are working beautifully as a lovely team.

Our group for Life's a Pitch is focusing on children's publishing, mainly on improving all those tacky colour explosion magazines we all had as children, usually to get some sort of toy or gobstopper. We thought that we could suggest a publication that encourages creativity in its audience, and active participation with things like dot to dot.

We made a rough plan of our rationale (and Ben made a sweet logo):
