Introduction
People of Print began in 2008, when it was originally developed by Marcroy Smith as an online creative library. Since then the company has pushed in many interesting and exciting directions, both online and offline.
Recognizing print as a core process within the creative industries, People of Print is a world-leading online community and directory of creatives who use the medium of print and companies that offer the service of print in all forms. Hence it has become an extremely prestigious platform on which to be mentioned and to get noticed.
People of Print (POP) acts as a source of inspiration for creatives through its daily curated selection of Web content and its quarterly publication titled 'Print Isn't Dead,' uncovering and sharing the work, services, events and more from the world's leading contemporary creatives and the hottest budding talent.
This has proven to be a valuable resource for individuals, professionals, universities and established design studios. It also has a curated online shop called 'Department Store,' selling designer-based goods from various vendors, whereby it offers affordable selling fees and takes a small commission on sales. POP's online presence has paved the way for many amazing things to happen in the tangible world.
Through collaborating with numerous studios, agencies, shops and companies, People of Print has been able to create and facilitate extremely impressive solutions for corporate clients, charities and education and cultural insititutions, while continually develping its global community in the world of print.
