When i was at infant school, i entered a competition to win some dinosaur goodies and i had to draw my favourite dinosaur. I drew a Tyrannosaurus Rex and i won third place! I had my picture taken for the local newspaper and won a load of dinosaur toys and sweets. I always begged to be taken to the natural history museum too and when i finally went i bought a fake marble dinosaur egg and i thought it was the best thing ever, as well as being amazed by all the fossils! Anyway.... this is my reasoning to choose dinosaurs as a topic, it made me happy as a kid, and the brief is to create a cover design including the words "Anorak, The happy mag for kids!" Below are some images i found on the internet that I find inspiring, for the dinosaurs shown, the colour schemes and the style of illustration (each image can be clicked to take you to its source)
