Duolingo's NYC guide

For their NYC office re-opening, Duolingo created a zine celebrating local culture and design. The digital mini includes interviews with Duolingo learners in the city and tips for employees visiting from out of town.

"We love the mini format for this more casual expression of our brand."

Copies are available in their new coffee shop area and "newsprint was the perfect medium for casual reading while taking a work break," says designer Ali Emmel. "They were a huge hit!"

Fred Aldous’ artist showcase

Every year, art supply store Fred Aldous selects an Artist in Residence to collaborate on a collection of stationery, homewares and more. The whole project is documented in a newspaper, printed on our traditional tabloids.

"Everyone loves the centre fold being a print you can pin up and some people have framed it!"

This issue features current Artist in Residence Clare Birtwistle, showcasing her creative process from early sketches to final pieces, along with an illustrated pull-out poster. A QR code on the back encourages budding artists to apply for the next residency.

“We can’t wait to create the next one," says Fred Aldous co-director Paul Walker. "The only thing we left off was the price – it’s free! It looks so good that people are trying to pay for it.”

Eric Anderson’s star-studded portfolio

Nashville-based photographer Eric Ryan Anderson turned his portfolio of musician portraits – including Sting, Post Malone and Charli XCX – into a zine-style newspaper, printed on our digital tabloids.  He uses it as a "tactile leave-behind" after meetings with music labels and management.

"Making something tangible is always a win. People love newsprint!"

"People love newsprint!" says Eric. "I've been printing my photography on newsprint for fifteen years and Newspaper Club makes it easier than ever to keep it going."

Dishoom's menu launch

To launch their updated menu, the much-loved Indian restaurant Dishoom created a zine chronicling their chefs' travels around Bombay for inspiration. They shared the traditional mini with guests at a series of supper clubs celebrating the new dishes.

"Charm and nostalgia are very important for our brand and newsprint brings both in buckets."

"The format allowed us to really dig in deep and add richness to our customers' interaction with our new dishes," says designer Sam Sutton. "We've had such good feedback and hope that this will be the first of many zines for us!"

10,000 Interns Foundation's impact report

The 10,000 Interns Foundation, which connects underrepresented talent with career opportunities, used our digital broadsheets to unveil their first Impact Report. The large-scale format helped “bring the report to life” with visual storytelling, says their Head of Marketing, Rae Philip.

"We've been tagged in a ton of social posts - all featuring the newspapers!"

"People were still talking about the newspaper days later," adds Rae. "It was a super cool souvenir that allowed us to continue the conversation after the event."

 Pollock’s Toyshop anniversary

To mark 44 years in Covent Garden, Benjamin Pollock’s Toyshop created an anniversary newspaper celebrating some of their most-loved marionettes, music boxes and play theatres. Dressed as clowns, the team roamed the neighbourhood, delighting passersby with free copies.

“The publication needed to be fun, quirky and reflect the warmth of the Pollock’s team,” says designer Jeannine Saba of Piero Publishing. Our traditional mini ticked all the boxes. “Customers are loving it!”

Graceland exhibition souvenir

To promote their Graceland London exhibition, Halcyon Gallery produced a takeaway newspaper that doubled as a playful way to announce the show on social media.

Falmouth University's new student guide

Aiming to ease “information overload” for new students, Falmouth University created The F Word, a traditional tabloid with tips for thriving in student life and connecting with the community.

"Students have been experiencing digital fatigue and wanted something tangible. We needed to freshen up our approach to communication."

“Students have been experiencing digital fatigue and wanted something tangible,” says Alannah Williams from Falmouth’s marketing team. "A newspaper was ideal for communicating important info in a visually appealing way."

IIDA's climate zine

The International Interior Design Association (IIDA) teamed up with Nervy Design to create a zine for this year’s Climate Crawl, celebrating studios reimagining sustainable design. Featuring names like O Plus A and Gensler, the mini newspaper captures Northern California’s innovative design spirit.

"Everyone is loving it! It’s not precious, and people appreciate that."
