MONO.CONTRIBUTORS #05: STUDIO8

We’d been wanting to work with London’s Studio8 for quite some time but never quite dared to ask – after all, they’d ascended into the top league of editorial design a few years ago, with titles such as our favourite Port magazine (which they co-publish) or the indispensable illustration/design bible Elephant to their name, and [...]
