HOW (magazine)

HOW was a bimonthly magazine for graphic designers launched in 1985.^[1] It is edited by Megan Lane Patrick. It was published by F+W Media of Cincinnati, Ohio. The magazine covered business, creativity, design, and technology.

HOW organized six creative competitions annually, covering graphic design, logo design, promotion and marketing, interactive media, and in-house design.

In December 2011, HOW introduced an online education platform known as HOW Design University (HOW U), which offered online classes, boot camps, and webinars aimed at creative professionals.

F+W Media, the publisher of HOW, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 10, 2019.^[2] Consequently, HOW magazine and its related websites were discontinued, except for the annual in-person event, HOW Design Live, which continues to be a gathering for the design community.
