‘Designer’ is a quarterly, English language magazine reaching out to design professionals, educationalists and students, design consultancies, branding firms, people who commission design and companies who appreciate the value of design in creating sales.
Editorially, ‘Designer’ covers a wide field of design including product design, graphic design, corporate identity, advertising design, typography, illustration, package design, interactive solutions, furniture design, retail interiors, exhibitions and many other faces of the design field.
Inside the 80 pages, one finds articles on design classics, interviews or retrospectives of prominent designers, product reviews, as well as book reviews. In addition to this, each issue has a focus. In the past, for example, we have covered transportation and the environment as themes. While design is an important and serious factor in the creation of a product and plays a vital role in communications, we hope our excitement and enthusiasm for the subject shines from the pages of ‘Designer’.
‘Designer’ covers Asian design but not exclusively. You can buy our publication over the counter or subscriber annually. You can find ‘Designer’ in bookstores in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore and the distribution grows with each issue. Each month we send out copies to subscribers in the Asia Pacific region as well as to places as far away as New York, Beijing and London.
Designer is published by BluePrint Media Pte Ltd in cooperation with the Designers Association of Singapore.
Blueprint Media also publishes AdAsia magazine which is a sister publication covering the advertising, marketing and media field.
