Friends of Design recently worked with Mark Graham, editor and owner of the home building guide magazine. The project involved re-designing the magazine template, to make it more of a work book for people renovating or building a new home. With bold colour, great images, functional checklists and a friendly useable navigation, the new mag is right on target.

The Design Guide is the sister publication to the Building Guide. We worked once again with Mark Graham and editor Andrea Stephens to create the brand new title. Like the building guide it also is a functional tool for people looking to design their home or interior. Covering Kitchen Design, renovating, interior design, landscape and more. It is a really interesting and informative read, and with crafted photography by Simon Devit, its also a visual treat. Friends of Design art directed the template and set the look and feel for the publication.
