This project has been all about looking in to the areas of design that interest us. As a collective we decided to enquire into designers methods and processes within editorial design. We wanted to find out more about their personal approaches and ways of working, rather than trying to get a general overview of everythingwithin this vast industry. A lot went in to researching who we were going to contact, but we decided to focus on smaller more independent magazines and zines. We felt that by focusing on this specific area of editorial design we were likely to receive more personal responses opposed to generic commercial replies. For us this project seemed like a lot more than simply finding out about how an industry worked. We wanted to know about the people behind it. We wanted to speak to the people who created the work, not those who simply directed it.
This publication has been produced to catalogue our findings as well as the processess we have been through ourselves.

We wanted the whole process to be a lot more personal, we wanted to engage with the designers we contacted not just send them faceless emails. By producing something physical to send them we were able to show our genuine interest in the designers and the work they produce. We collectively produced and put together a small package to send out, containing a brief introduction to the project and ourselves, a small questionnaire for the individual to fill out and a stamp and address for them to return the filled out information. Each package was personalised with the attachment of a small name slip which directly and personally addressed the persons we wanted to engage with and talk to. In total we produced and sent out 10 of these packs to companies across the whole of the UK from Manchester to London.
