This issue of Graphic collects together the profiles of thirty small graphic design studios, each established between 2007 and 2010. These geographically disparate studies—23 based in Switzerland, the United States, Germany, England, Belgium, and Canada; 7 from South Korea—share their work and talk about the details of running their studios. These profiles document the interdisciplinary collaborative projects, independent writing, publishing, lectures, and curatorial projects that the studios were engaged in at the time of publishing.Each section opens with a graphic image created by the studio being profiled, commissioned by Graphic to encapsulate the studio's identity.

Time has passed since the initial publication, yet this issue remains a reference for those establishing a studio, as well as a fascinating snapshot of studio practices at a very particular point in time, captured simultaneously.
