Founded by Adrian Shaughnessy, Varoom functioned as a sophisticated journal that treated illustration as a serious subject for critical analysis rather than just a commercial craft. Each issue was built around a specific theme — such as "Activism," "Style," or "The Body" — to explore how visual storytelling impacts global culture, politics, and technology. The publication was known for its high production values, evolving through various physical formats before settling into a chunky, book-like aesthetic on tactile, uncoated paper. Though regular production ceased in 2021, it remains a definitive archive for the industry, featuring contributions from world-class image-makers and maintaining a legacy as the preeminent voice for the "illustrated image."
