“Design is more relevant today than ever. Having the opportunity to further grow such an established and well-respected brand as Print is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Kenedi. “I’m truly honored to collaborate with the talented people here to keep delivering the high quality content and design people have enjoyed for more than 70 years. And with a newly established book division, a thriving web presence, and annual contests and events, our ultimate goal is to educate and inspire new generations of design enthusiasts for the next 70 years and beyond.”
