People of print People of print: People of print, are a tridtional printing company who pride themselfs, preducing luxury magazines, which contain, interviews, articles, analysis, and many more woudnerful insights. They release a quartley magazine, in which i buy everytime they come out. The magazines are made from screen printing and other traditional printing methods. During research Into my dissertation and practical I found most of my influences were from books, magazines rather than websites as most things online, are about digital printing.
People of print are a huge inspiration in the world of print, on a visit to york a few weeks ago there was a print festival and I had the oppertunity to talk to (have a brief interview) with Marcroy Smith (Founder) himself;
How did you select content for your first issue?
'The first issue happened very quickly and we already had a whole bank of amazing content that we were yet to put into a magazine. It’s a huge mash-up of everything that we love. There was a heavy focus on getting a lot of information out there, showcasing a wide selection of how print can be used, rather than having a theme and longer articles. This is something we will move towards as we find our feet in the publishing world.'.
What advice would you give to someone about to launch a magazine?
- Budget correctly then add 50% to be sure.
- Find a printer that will work with your project and get involved on a creative level.
- Make sure that you love what you’re doing, because it takes more time than you think and you need to care about it.
- Find a way to make it happen.
DOUBLE DAGGER MAGAZINE
On my Adventures around Leeds I've also picked up a double dagger magazine from Visiting Colours May Very for an exhibition. Double Dagger is a magazine that treats printed matter and the process of print with ardent dedication and an almost evangelical passion. Founded by two printers in Shipley and Whittington, it is made entirely by hand using letterpress printing
