Posterzine® Issue 110 – Lisa Congdon

Posterzine® is a groundbreaking publication that uniquely combines the worlds of print and art into one collectible format. As the world’s only poster registered with the British Library, Posterzine® is celebrated for its innovative folding design, which transforms from a beautifully designed A1 poster into an engaging magazine.

Launched nine years ago as a creative solution to an editorial space challenge in Print Isn’t Dead ™ , Magazine Posterzine® quickly captured the imagination of art lovers and design enthusiasts alike. Each monthly issue features a different artist or designer, presenting both a visually striking poster and an in-depth, exclusive interview with the creative behind the work.

Led by a passionate and dedicated team—Marcroy Eccleston Smith, the visionary director and curator; Tom, the creative designer; and Kate, the editor—Posterzine® has carved out a niche in the art world by offering affordable, frame-worthy prints that double as insightful reading material.
