Turning Pages, Turning Heads.
Your Next Favourite Editorial, Delivered.
We craft editorial experiences that wink at readers, magazines that don’t just sit on shelves, so good even your coffee stops for a double take as they demand to be read.
We turn every page into a small drama
From Covers to Closes
Great publications are more than ink on paper - They’re experiences carefully designed to inform, inspire, and engage.
At The People Design Studio, we bring together creativity, precision, and strategy to make every page work harder for your brand.
Here’s how we do it -
Magazine Design:
Some magazines are meant to be collected, shared, and remembered. We design bold, eye-catching covers and dynamic interior layouts that balance readability with striking visuals, guiding readers naturally. Every spread is carefully crafted to guide the reader’s eye seamlessly while keeping your brand identity consistent and compelling across every issue.
Editorial Design:
This is where storytelling meets strategy. From meticulously typeset features to innovative use of typography, photography, illustrations and infographics, our thoughtfully crafted feature spreads transform articles into experiences. Our editorial work gives every word its place, creating a rhythm that makes reading effortless, enjoyable and engaged.
Publishing Design:
We don’t just stop at the visuals — we think about the whole publishing process. That means everything from page structure and hierarchy to preparing flawless, print-ready files that your printer will love. Whether it’s for print, digital, or both, we ensure your publication is polished, professional, and production-ready.
Even in our tech-heavy world, magazines, editorials, and publishing are still very much alive — but their role has evolved.
Here’s why they continue to matter:
-
Magazines and printed publications carry a weight that digital content often can’t match. A well-designed magazine feels tangible, curated, and permanent. Unlike fleeting social posts, publications are often kept, displayed, and revisited — making them powerful brand touchpoints.
-
Editorial design isn’t just about pretty layouts — it’s about framing information as valuable. Whether in print or digital form, editorial-style content signals expertise and credibility. That’s why brands, institutions, and even tech companies still invest in reports, journals, and editorial-driven storytelling.
-
Publishing design doesn’t just mean ink and paper. The principles — clear hierarchy, strong layouts, compelling typography — are just as essential for digital publications, e-magazines, and branded content platforms. The best digital reading experiences borrow heavily from the traditions of editorial design.
-
In a noisy digital world, publications stand out because they feel intentional. A beautifully designed magazine or editorial piece invites the reader to slow down, focus, and engage — which is exactly what most brands want: quality attention, not just clicks.
-
It’s not “print vs. digital” — it’s both. Many organisations produce print for prestige and digital for reach. Publishing design sits at the centre of this, ensuring the story looks and feels compelling in any format.
