HOW (magazine)

HOW was a bimonthly magazine for graphic designers published between 1985[1] and 2019. It was 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 annual creative competitions, covering graphic design, logo design, promotion and marketing, interactive media, and in-house design. Since 1990, HOW held an annual design conference HOW Design Live.[2][3]

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

F+W Media, the publisher of HOW, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 10, 2019.[4] Consequently, HOW magazine and its related websites were discontinued, except for the HOW Design Live conference which was most recently held in 2024.[5][6]
