Penguin is one of the biggest publishing companys in the world, Penguin publishing first appeared on the scene in 1935 from its creator Allen Lane, the meaning behind the penguin as the symbol is said on its web page, " He also wanted a ' dignified but flippant ' symbol for his business.",  he then got a illustrator to go into a zoo and then create some sketches of a penguin and that is how the symbol came to be. Back when penguin first started out the book categories were all organised with the colour of the front cover, orange for fiction, blue for biography and green for crime and with what they did to the industry complete created something new and original to the publishing industry and still to this day they are creating beautiful books. Penguins origins are in Westminster in the United Kingdom.

Editorial publishing is one of the biggest types of publishing and thats purely because it consists of newspapers, magazines, zines and many other forms of editorial. Editorial can use a lot of illustration with in the products that they release so their are a lot of illustrators who go and work for editorial companies but the down side to working for one is that if it is a weekly issue you will need to illustrate a magazine, zine or other products in such a strict time schedule, illustrators such as Peter brookes who illustrate satire for new papers and because it is for a news paper he has a very strict deadline of a day or a few days to create an appealing piece of work that is presentable for the public.

Here is one of his pieces of satire and just from looking at it he has given it a lot of thought so it is offencive to the people depicted in the piece but not overly offencive to the extent where he can be taken to court or have his work removed from the news paper, the line work and colour used just shows how difficult it must be to achieve this standard of work when you are working in the editorial industry.
