WRAP Magazine – Issue 11 (Balance)

Wrap Magazine Issue 11 ‘Balance’ is out now! With a beautifully illustrated cover by Brooklyn-based Ping Zhu, our Spring/Summer 2015 edition of Wrap has been inspired by the word ‘balance’.

Five of today’s most exciting illustrators have created exclusive prints for this issue, which can be pulled out and used as wrapping paper. A look at how Print All Over Me is revolutionising the world of print-on-demand fashion / We talk to cover artist Ping Zhu about her dynamic illustrative style, and studio life in Brooklyn / We delve into the intriguing world of contemporary set design / Lauren Rolwing shows us how closely intertwined her work and everyday actions really are, in this issue’s illustrated essay / Wrap explores Australia’s vibrant and dynamic design scene / Will Bryant shows us how he balances life as a father, illustrator and teacher in his ‘A Life Illustrated’.

Wrap Magazine is a publication that bridges the gap between being a magazine and a product – while each themed edition comes full of interviews and features on an eclectic range of creative endeavours, it also includes ten illustrated wrapping papers made especially for that issue, printed on five double-sided pull-out sheets. So Wrap Magazine becomes a magazine you can use, as well as one to read and enjoy. Founded by designers Chris Harrison and Polly Glass in September 2010 with the aim of showcasing the work of up-and-coming illustrators. Wrap is published three times a year and stocked in more than 150 shops around the world. reative directors Chris and Polly are helped by editor Harry Glass, plus regular features writer Sarah Housley. But it is the talented contributing illustrators, as well as other freelance writers and photographers, who help to make Wrap possible.
