The world’s leading resource on the art, business and culture of design. Our community includes the award-winning Print and HOW magazines and events, education, and award competitions that recognize design in all its forms.
Founded in 1985, HOW Magazine provides graphic-
design professionals with essential business information, covers new technology and processes, profiles renowned and up-and-coming designers, details noteworthy projects, and provides creative inspiration. The year-end Business Annual has become a respected resource for its articles about studios across the U.S. Other profiled topics include digital design, creativity, typography and paper.
Founded in 1940 by William Edwin Rudge, Print is dedicated to showcasing the extraordinary in design—on and off the page. Covering a field as broad as communication itself—publication and book design, animation and motion graphics, corporate branding and rock posters, exhibitions and street art—Print covers commercial, social, and environmental design from every angle.
Engagingly written by cultural reporters and critics who look at design in its social, political, and historical contexts, Print explores why our world looks the way it looks, and why the way it looks matters.
All the inspiration, information and instruction designers need can be found at HOW Design Live. Four events, 6 days, thousands of designers, freelancers, in-house managers and packaging designers, plus a speaker roster packed with some of the brightest minds in the industry.
