DESIGN QUARTERLEY Proudly supporting the
VIBRANT AUSTRALASIAN DESIGN COMMUNITY
Please find enclosed your Media Kit for DQ magazine. We’re extremely pleased and excited to present to you the new-look DQ, re-designed under the creative directorship of studio one8one7. Since its re-launch late last year, DQ has been going from strength to strength. Throughout this period of development and refinement, we’ve spent quite a bit of time exploring and analysing what we do, to ensure we continue to bring our readers the things they like best (People, Products and Parties!), and present it in a way that reflects DQ’s unique persona. Complete with revitalised layouts, refurbished feature sections and a special gloss insert, DQ brings you all the latest news across the Australian and international design community, including intimate and revealing interviews with renowned designers, first-hand accounts from all the major trade fairs and exhibitions, and on-the-ground coverage of the hottest parties around town. Complementing the re-design of the magazine, is the inception of its online alter ego Designquarterly.com.au. The website is in the format of a blog and keeps the conversation running between quarterly installments of the magazine. Here we capture all the latest in people, products and events happening in the industry, while following up on subjects and stories from previous DQs, and hinting at what’s to come in future issues. As one of Indesign Group’s most popular magazines, DQ provides the means to communicate with the design and architecture industry across multiple media levels, and we look forward to assisting you in reaching this market. Alice Editor, DQ magazine
