DesignWeek was launched in 1986 in the United Kingdom; from 2007 Centaur Media PLC has published it and it is still the world’s only weekly design magazine that is released
every Friday.
From 1989 Lynda Relph-Kinght has been the Editor of DesignWeek, her previous experience was working
for The Architect (a now-defunct monthly) and Building Design an architectural weekly.
The website is generally updated everyday, with all the latest issues and articles available to read online. Using networking site Twitter you are able to follow all the latest news and reviews.
A weekly cost of this magazine would be £2.80 subscription but through the website you can require this magazine; £85 for one year, £162 two years and finally £223 for three years, so you could save up to 53% which would allow you to receive an exclusive package with benefits.
Audience of this magazine generally tends to be people within the design industry such as; Furniture, Graphic, Interior and Product Designers, although it would be quite relevant to students who are learning the trade through colleges or universities.
Design Week sets an innovative tone to how we browse useful links within our broad range of creative design. Utilizing a basic viewing approach keeping the viewer in mind to how we process information and linking that to an appropriate layout built around pure white colours, sustaining interest to its target audience, the creative community, making navigation into your chosen design area simple and effective which no hassle of unwanted distractions.
Design Week hosts a broad range of useful articles that both relate to struggle, techniques and reason used at a professional level giving you insight into contemporary design, the professionals work we see on a daily basis, that can aid young aspiring designers today with examples from top artists, ranging from recent awards, to early stages of design and planning from the developers themselves. With the mass of information, Design Week still continues to capture audiences and deliver the necessary knowledge, which is only relevant to the subject, keeping it easy to read, and continuing interest, which is effective design in its own rights.
One of Design Weeks most recent article is on England's new branding for the Commonwealth Games. Demonstrating the project aim towards a logo that represents the English team at the games in Delhi, which will be printed on the teams kits and communications, showing England's identity through a visual form, which carefully highlights the struggle to design a new brand, keeping the previous symbol and its competitive sprit alive.
