The Manual is a new limited-run print magazine published three times a year. Each issue will have six substantial, beautifully illustrated feature articles, along with additional rich and unexpected bonuses. Challenging, contemplative, playful, and visionary, the articles focus on bringing a greater depth and maturity to our craft and profession: design on the web.

However, you won’t find markup and code, tutorials, and galleries in The Manual. This magazine, heart and soul, will have a different role: it’s the discourse about design online that many of us have been yearning for, that gives the subject the respect it deserves, challenging all of us, as an industry, to set a much higher standard.

Andy McMillan, of Build fame, is starting a print-only magazine and funding the first issue through Kickstarter. This is good for the web, and if you care about it, consider supporting the project.
