The Printed Magazine

Design Exchange magazine is a visionary interactive publication that delves into the future of our planet through the lens of design and creativity. With an unwavering commitment to innovation, this immersive magazine pushes boundaries by exploring augmented reality and film. Pioneering these technologies for more than half a decade, Design Exchange seamlessly merges them to provide an unparalleled reading experience.

Design Exchange Magazine’s editorial focus confronts the climate emergency head-on. With no time to waste, our printed platform prioritizes the exploration of sustainable design solutions and innovative strategies to combat the pressing challenges facing our planet. As a beacon of change, Design Exchange inspires readers to take action and make a difference through the transformative power of design.


Design Exchange embraces the ethos of the slow Journalism movement, prioritizing thorough research and in-depth exploration of themes and content. As we move forward, our magazine will transform into a book-like publication. Our aim is to release this edition every few years, covering diverse and captivating topics.

We take pride in delivering meticulously curated, intelligent, and non-partisan coverage that both inspires and informs. With a steadfast commitment to the values expected from quality journalism, we are currently working on our upcoming edition, which will feature no paid page advertisements and remain uninfluenced by sponsors or paid partners. Stay tuned for exciting updates on our new experiment

Our magazine is available in the UK and internationally.

Our digital edition is available for free once the Print edition sells out.

Film

Our independent film studio helps designers get more from filmmaking. We offer inspiring content development, drone filming, pre-production, production, and post-production.

Our network of art film directors and editors will help you create a short art film. It can be 30 seconds for social media or 30 minutes for a film festival, or anything in between.

We are open-minded and happy to consider working with any creative if you are willing to experiment and look at exploring something new.

A recent film we worked on with artist and Filmmaker Di Mainstone & commissioned by Towerbridge in celebration of their 125th Anniversary, Time Bascule has been shown at Home Cinema in Manchester and is still on the film festival circuit.

London screenings of Time Bascule are being planned sometime in the near future, If you would like to attend or are interested in showing the film at a festival please email us.

We work with creative partners with wild imaginations that will allow us to explore and experiment with new and exciting ways to use film as a storytelling platform.

Unlike the art world, we feel designers could be much more experimental. So over the last few years, we have been collaborating with many well-known art filmmakers /producers/storytellers to bring exciting new fresh ideas and a completely different approach into the design world.

Augmented Reality

Design Exchange’s CHANGE issue is not our first edition to implement Augmented Reality (AR). We were toying with this technology for over six years, with other magazines jumping on its potential between then and now. Nevertheless, this is our deepest dive into its possibilities.

For our current CHANGE edition, we collaborated with designer Dirk Koy

Our past FUTURE FORECAST edition, we collaborated with Mike Pelletier
