Introducing PRINT Magazine: Design Culture, Craft, and Industry Conversation
PRINT Magazine covers design craft, awards, interviews, and culture for studios and creatives who care about standards.
Introducing PRINT Magazine: Design Culture, Craft, and Industry Conversation
Design teams and studios need more than templates — they need critical conversation, historical context, and examples of work that raises the bar. PRINT Magazine is a long-running design publication covering branding, typography, illustration, awards, and the people shaping visual culture. For many designers it remains a trusted place to see work, critique, and industry conversation beyond ephemeral social feeds.
The site features The Daily Heller, Design Matters conversations, book club recaps, awards coverage, and interviews with practitioners across print and digital.
What PRINT Magazine does
PRINT is a design media and community brand. Readers come for essays and interviews on craft, industry news, award programs, and podcasts that dig into how designers think — from brand systems to costume design and editorial illustration.
Core surfaces:
- Editorial coverage — Daily Heller columns, interviews, brand identity stories
- PRINT Awards — annual recognition of creative excellence and studio work
- Design Matters / Design Of — long-form conversations with creative leaders

Who it is for
Graphic designers, brand strategists, art directors, educators, and design-curious marketers who want substance over trend chasing — and studios that care about craft reputation.
Where it fits in a content stack
PRINT sits in the inspiration and standards layer. When a team ships product or brand education, they still need clear visual explainers that translate design thinking into stories clients and users can follow.
Why it matters now
As AI accelerates production, design judgment becomes the scarce skill. PRINT’s coverage of awards, identity systems, and practitioner interviews helps teams calibrate taste — what is merely new versus what is actually good.
Quick tips if you try PRINT Magazine
- Follow one columnist or series (e.g. Daily Heller) for a steady craft diet.
- Study award winners as references for narrative and production quality — not only aesthetics.
- Use interviews as briefing fuel when pitching brand or campaign ideas.
- Share one essay per week with your studio to keep critique language sharp.
- Storyboard brand stories when a written case study needs a motion or explainer treatment.

If you also need concept → storyboard → animated or whiteboard explainer / Reels (not talking-avatar presenters), see Scro Explainer. Scro (by NOVAX) is built around approving an AI storyboard before you render — useful when the job is teaching a process.
