Print is a bimonthly magazine about visual culture and design. Founded in 1940 by William Edwin Rudge, Print is dedicated to showcasing the excellence in design on and off the page. Covering a field as large as communication itself—publication and book design, animation and motion graphics, corporate branding and rock posters, expositions and street art - Print covers commercial, social, and environmental scenarios from every angle. Engagingly written by social reporters and critics who look at design in its social, political, and historical circumstances, Print explores why our world looks the way it looks and why the way it looks matters.
In 2009, Print was awarded the American Society of Magazine Editors' National Magazine Award for General Excellence in its circulation category for the second year in a row. A five-time champion, Print has been cited various times by the Society of Publication Designers, AIGA, The Art Directors Club, and The Type Directors Club.
In its 2008 citation, ASME wrote: "Proving that just looking exceptional isn't enough, Print stands out in a cluttered field with its widespread view of its subject, its relentless curiosity, and its energy to look at design not in a vacuum but as a vital gateway to popular culture, the environment, even politics."
