ION THE PRIZE – TOYWATCH

Our friends over at Toywatch have given us a couple of the Jelly watches to put on our readers wrists. With eight different choices for strap colour and nine choices for watch colour, you can create seventy-two different combinations. Just pop the watch right out of the strap to mix and match. What a cool way to spruce up your fall wardrobe without breaking the bank.

Paulie Mag – ION x Kindergarten class v2.0

Can a bunch of 5 year olds make a magazine? They sure can! This is the second year that the ION team has helped a kindergarten class put together a magazine based around their class mascot. The kids picked the font, shot the cover, illustrated their pages and interviewed each other. We just put the elements together.
