Grafik magazine is re-launching at the end of June with a new look, a new website and a new owner. Recently acquired by Adventures in Publishing Ltd., Grafik showcases the cream of both cutting edge and commercial graphic design, providing a platform for photography, art, typography, illustration, new media, fashion, technology and advertising. With more than 50,000 readers Grafik has a huge influence on designers and through their work, on how our world looks.
Changes under the new ownership include previous Editor Caroline Roberts moving up to the position of Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, while Angharad Lewis, her deputy, will now edit the magazine. Stefan Ketelsen is the new Sales Director while Nicole Townsin joins as Marketing Manager. Stephan Bisse of Adventures in Publishing commented: “The strength of the team and Grafik’s status as the pre-eminent publication for graphic design made this a very attractive proposition. Anyone that wants to advertise to graphic designers will want to do it through Grafik. We are on the lookout for further acquisitions in this space”.
The magazine has been a source of inspiration to graphic designers for over twenty years and fans range from design students around the world to the stars of the industry. In recent years graphic design has become of interest to a far wider audience and readers of the magazine have grown to include anybody with an interest in good graphics.
Going on sale on June 24th, the re-designed Grafik has expanded to 100 pages of unmissable new work by both industry icons and cutting edge designers. The magazine is also launching a brand new website at www.GrafikMag.com at the end of July.
