HOW was a bimonthly magazine for graphic designers launched in 1985.
The magazine covered business, creativity, design, and technology.
In December 2011, HOW introduced an online education platform known as HOW Design University (HOW U), which offered online classes, boot camps, and webinars aimed at creative professionals.
F+W Media, the publisher of HOW, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 10, 2019.
[2] Consequently, HOW magazine and its related websites were discontinued, except for the annual in-person event, HOW Design Live, which continues to be a gathering for the design community.
