Worrell Design recently created New: For Lateral Thinkers to tell stories of design and innovation from around the world.
“Our vision is to raise awareness of global concerns that affect the design of business and the new roles of designers,”
says Kai Worrell. “We want to be recognized as a thought leader. We want people to be able to gain from the valuable
insights we have uncovered as a company over the past three decades.”
With eye-catching, colorful graphics
and rich, meaningful collages of
images pertaining to the articles,
Worrell Design wants readers to be
able to flip through the magazine and
get a quick sense of the depth of the
material, while creating a cohesive
visual impact.
Every issue begins with a Founder’s
Note from Robert Worrell, followed by
up to three interviews. The first issue
included James McGregor, author;
Joe Ranieri, chief executive officer of
Crocs China; and Yu Shen, secretary-
general of Shanghai Design Center.
Each issue also includes case studies
and articles written by Worrell Design
research specialists.
Approximately 1,500 magazines were
printed for the first issue. “We mailed
and labeled the magazines in custom
envelopes designed exclusively for
that particular issue,” Kai Worrell says.
And the response?
“People were incredibly impressed
by the relevant, third-party content
and overall quality,” Worrell says.
“They expressed appreciation for
the knowledge we not only gathered
and shared from third-party experts
but from the direct information
compounded from Worrell Design
researchers and designers.”
