This limited-edition book celebrates the craft that goes into designing magazines that people love.
Little White Lies have become iconic for their cover designs
There's something we just love about print - the smell of a new
magazine; the craft, dedication and time put into each page; the
skillful use of images, typography and photographs. There's nothing
quite like it and the team at creative design agency Human After All couldn't agree with us more. Curious Iconic Craft is a limited edition, 100+ page book about designing magazines that people love. Launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund the project, Human After All promise the book will be a beautiful and valuable resource for designers and students. A range of free fonts are on offer for Kickstarter backers
After 85 issues of Little White Lies and Huck,
Human After All directors Danny Miller, Rob Longworth, Paul Willoughby
and Alex Capes are stepping away from designing the magazines to focus
on new challenges and collaborations. But first, they want to look back
at their favourite work from the past eight years and that's where
'Curious Iconic Craft' comes in.
Miller explains "We've decided to make a book of our favourite work –
the outtakes, the processes and never-before-seen details that go into
designing two magazines that so many people love". Huck has won a whole host of design awards including a 'designer of the year' nodAPA
Designer of the Year and Huck creative director Longworth explains
their decision in choosing Kickstarter. "We chose Kickstarter to cover
production costs so that we can focus on designing, creating, publishing
and distributing the best possible book in just a few weeks. It’s being
created exclusively for the design fans and magazine lovers around the
world who've been so supportive of what we’ve done over the years.”
Rewards for backers include getting your name in the book, an e-book
version of the book, exclusive prints and an exclusive digital pack of
fonts and wallpapers from the magazine. Celebrate the work of these inspiring print designers with Curious Iconic Design
