The Offering Journal
A twice-yearly journal on craft and ritual. We designed the masthead, page system and covers, and art-directed its first four issues.

Outcome
Issue one sold out its print run of 2,000 copies.
The brief
The Offering publishes long essays on India’s living crafts. The editors wanted a journal that felt calm and slow to read, in a market full of loud covers.
The approach
We built the page system on the proportions of a miniature painting, with wide margins that act like a painted border. Each cover carries a single figure and nothing else.
The outcome
Issue one sold out its print run of 2,000 copies.
