London-based photographer Elle Godfree continues her long-term exploration of British youth subcultures with SCRAP 2026, an ongoing photographic project examining the contemporary skinhead scene and its evolving identity within working-class culture. Working entirely with analogue photography, Godfree documents communities connected to the skinhead movement across locations such as Camden and…
When The Virgil Reader Vol. 001 was first announced, it would have been easy to assume it was another tribute publication. A large-format book, a limited run, global pre-orders. The sort of release that often follows the passing of a cultural figure. But the first printed publication from the Virgil…
Welcome back to our City Series, a collection of conversations exploring creative lives through the places that shape them. For our second instalment, we travel across the Atlantic to Amesbury, Massachusetts, a historic New England mill town where brick factories, independent record stores and artist studios sit side by side.…
With Youm Wara Youm, multidisciplinary artist Yomna Mohamed transforms a familiar household object into a vivid exploration of Egyptian visual culture. Produced in collaboration with Makan Press, the 2026 calendar exists somewhere between functional tool and artist book, printed in five Risograph colours in a limited edition of 100. The…
For many years, Alberto Herrero’s creative identity revolved around letters. Starting with graffiti at the age of thirteen and later working for almost a decade in advertising, lettering became both a visual language and a professional path. It felt familiar and natural, a continuation of the marks he had been…
At People of Print, we talk a lot about the final sheet. Ogling over the moment it hits the press, the way ink bites and foil lifts, the way a box lid closes with just the right resistance… But long before a sheet reaches a printer or packaging studio, it…
Insights from People of Print member Maxim Print In advertising, great ideas rarely stay neatly inside a screen. Campaigns spill out into the physical world, onto packaging, posters, installations, influencer boxes, experiential activations, and the many printed objects that bring creative ideas to life. For agencies, choosing the right print…
For designers, printmakers and packaging specialists, paper is never just a surface. It determines how ink behaves, how colour holds, how a box feels in the hand and how a brand is remembered. Few manufacturers understand this relationship between material and meaning as deeply as James Cropper. Founded in 1845…
At the height of a crowded international book fair, where hundreds of publishers compete for attention and tables overflow with printed matter, WIRWIR PUBLISHES chose a different approach. Instead of simply displaying books, they invited participation. Armed with a manual typewriter, they asked visitors a deceptively simple question: what is…
Time moves in repetition, but no two days ever feel the same. In a Tempo., interdisciplinary artist Chaerin Do explores her notion of Time through layered print, music, and material process. The work began with seven 6 x 6 inch plexiglass acrylic sheets, each laser-engraved to represent a day of…
Unfold is a long-term photographic project by Xinyue Tao that treats the darkroom not as a space of reproduction, but as a site of material intervention, memory, and transformation. Combining traditional black-and-white enlarging with photogram processes, the work foregrounds hands-on image-making and positions photography as something mutable rather than fixed.…
At the Hong Kong Illustration and Creative Show 10, held on 20–21 December 2025, Wen Ching Yiu, also known as Krystine, presented a playful expansion of printmaking beyond the page. Her project explored how Risograph prints can move into the realm of wearable objects, transforming small printed works into one-of-a-kind…
Working for yourself today means carrying a lot. You are doing the creative work and the admin, marketing, socials, accounts, emails and contracts. You are navigating relentless news cycles, rising costs, family responsibilities, kids, and surprise bills that land out of nowhere. It can feel like your brain never fully…
There is something special about leaving a gig with more than just ringing ears and a setlist memory. For Brighton-based illustrator and musician Amy Charlton, that something is a hand-folded zine. Murphy’s Medicine MediZine is a self-made publication created for her band, Murphy’s Medicine. Each issue is hand-drawn and hand-painted…
There is something quietly radical about a handkerchief. Illustrator Kimberly Ellen Hall has been designing colourful cotton hankies that do more than take care of your nose. They bring a pop of colour to your pocket, reduce disposable waste, and inject a little humour into the colder months. At a…
Some experiences are almost impossible to explain. You can describe them, define them, even diagnose them, but that does not mean someone else will understand what they actually feel like. For UK-based illustrator and printmaker Kate Rolfe, dyslexia was one of those experiences. Wiggling Words, published by Two Hoots /…

There is something about stepping away from the noise and returning to the press that recalibrates everything. In April 2025, Jarred Elrod spent three days printing letterpress at Tipoteca Italiana in Cornuda, Italy. Surrounded by one of the world’s most extraordinary collections of wood and metal type, he produced a…
For more than a century, the matchday programme has been part of football’s ritual. Bought before kick-off, read in the stands, and taken home as proof you were there. For many supporters, it sits alongside scarves and ticket stubs as a physical reminder of the day. But as digital media…
