Talented Designers Needed

[FPO] wants you to recommend consultants for inclusion in our Spring Issue listing of publication designers and studios. We are asking them to fill out a short online survey at www.fpomagazine.com/survey and contribute some PDF samples of their work.

We are looking for experienced and talented designers or studios—especially local ones who might not have a national reputation but whose work you admire.

You can help in three ways:

1) Forward this message to designers that you think would be great additions to our list, urge them to participate (and cc us too if you don’t mind),

2) Send contact information to me directly (name, address, e-mail, Website) of an agency or consultant that you think would be an excellent reference for a short interview that will be part of the article and,

3) Share your experiences by referring people who designed or redesigned your publication so we can report from a client’s point of view on their process.

This is a great opportunity to create a resource that can really benefit the publishing community. We want to create a section at fpomagazine.com where we will maintain the listings and PDF samples for download.

Of course, the usual disclaimers apply: We can’t guarantee inclusion and we aren’t responsible for information inaccuracies, but with your help we’ll make every effort to get the details correct.

Thanks in advance for your help...and have a happy holiday season.

Rob Sugar
Editor, [FPO]

P.S, We are trying to get as many candidates for inclusion as possible by January 20th.
