D8 MAGAZINE VOL. 7

D8 is a design company fully committed to print as an art form and have championed this over the years by way of several ongoing in-house projects including the production of their own magazine, released several times annually. Unlike other design studio literature, the magazine is more than just an outlet for project promotion and is treated as something that should be a 'must-read', with articles and essays designed to appeal to both clients and the casual reader.
I took ownership of volume #7 and curated articles from both D8 staff and outside contributors such as Chris Page (owner of artist representatives Jelly), Kirsty L. Barr, and world-famous visual communicator, Noma Bar.
Production values were high, with contrasting paper stock used to denote different sections, spot colours, tipped in pages, and a multi-level sculpted emboss cover finished with UV varnish.
