It’s still dawning on me that something I made is now in the hands of people 10,000 km away

Niche design: a zine exploring where design flourishes A zine for designers and product makers seeking meaning beyond metrics, inviting you to rethink our culture through the ways we design.

It's Friday, here comes some inspiration.
If you follow my content, you know I have a soft spot for beautiful printed magazines. Itay Dreyfus created Niche Design Magazine, a self-published project exploring where design flourishes in the age of sameness. You can get a digital, and a paper version.

And, can we talk about the typography? Gorgeous!

Niche Design: A reader writes! Specifically Itay Dreyfus, who emailed me to say β€œJust released a new project of mine…It’s a self-published project exploring where design flourishes in the age of sameness. It’s a mix of essays and interviews with the (poetic?) web people like are.na, Kinopio, mmm.page, Light Phone, and many more.” Ok, so this is an ACTUAL THING YOU HAVE TO BUY but, well, I am a sucker for this sort of small publishing project, and I think there might be a few of you who might be in the market for β€œA zine for designers and product makers seeking meaning beyond metrics, inviting you to rethink our culture through the ways we design.” See what you think.

Welcome to the Post-Naive Internet Era The grand idealism of the free and open internet might be over for now, but in its place falls a more practical mindset. Just like Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurs are entering their β€œHard Tech” era, th...

"These projects aren’t driven by nostalgia, or even growth. The point is that influencing the world today is not about creating scale; it’s about developing the conditions that determine how culture is created, distributed and monetized."
