Details

Design Week was a business publication distinct from design-focused publications like Wallpaper and Creative Review. Its competitors included Brand Republic and Marketing Week. Its readers came from commercial design disciplines which range from retail, products and packaging to graphics, interiors, exhibitions and digital.

The founding editor of Design Week was Jeremy Myerson and the title was edited for more than 20 years by Lynda Relph-Knight. The final editor was Tom Banks.

Back issues to 1995 included contemporary design news and interviews/retrospectives of noteworthy but not widely known designers since c.1960, e.g. Raymond Hawkey[7][non-primary source needed] and Frank Stephenson.[8][non-primary source needed]
