About HOW

Alongside its sister brand PRINT (founded 1940), HOW (founded 1985) has long been the go-to industry resource for design tips and education, design dialogue and inspiration, profiles of leading design minds and everything in between. Whether you work for a design firm, for an in-house creative department or for yourself, it’s our mission to serve the business, creativity and technology needs of graphic designers. Through our online education and certification programs, wildly popular design competitions and top-ranking websites and social media platforms, HOW+PRINT are the leading authority on all things design today.
