The Magazine’s Evolution: Our Story so Far …
In January 2025, Dear Earth emerged as the rebranded evolution of Design Exchange magazine, with a resolute commitment to addressing the climate crisis. Its mission is to help reshape the world through innovative, positive, and nature-based solutions.
Design Exchange was published in print and online as ‘demagazine’ for 15 years (2009–2024), following a rebrand from the original print publication ‘myspace’,which ran from 2004 to 2008.
The Design Exchange team has always prioritised ethical design, constantly exploring innovative and sustainable methods. By 2024, Design Exchange Magazine had transformed into a cutting-edge, interactive publication, exploring the future through the lens of design and creativity. Committed to innovation, it broke new ground by integrating augmented reality (AR) and film, pioneering these technologies for several years.
As the first UK publication to seamlessly blend the physical and digital worlds using AR, Design Exchange delivered a truly unique and immersive reading experience.
Design Exchange’s final printed edition, ‘Change’ , marked the end of its print era. Design Exchange continued online until December 2024—read the digital archives here.
Moving forward, Dear Earth remains dedicated to the ethos of slow journalism, valuing deep research and meaningful exploration of critical issues. While our focus is on digital publishing and film, our love for print remains strong. We aim to gather our insights, solutions, and discoveries into a beautifully crafted book—one that may be released every few years as a timeless reflection of our work.
