Becoming a member of The Society of Publication Designers, allows you to join a community of your peers. Editorial brands have evolved beyond just print. Today, publication design touches just about every medium. Our members unfold dramatic narratives on paper, tell stories on the web, bring them to you via mobile web sites and apps on a smart phone, and let you experience stories through video and virtual reality.

Our members represent over 300 media brands from around the world. Their work is seen by millions of readers each day.
