Check out the dedicated 2014 It's Nice That Annual website

Date
11 December 2014

The It’s Nice That Annual is our way of celebrating some our favourite articles from the site over the past 12 months in printed form. You know this, right? Well this year for the first time we’ve also launched a dedicated It’s Nice that Annual website to give people a sense of what they can expect from our big, bright blue book of creative brilliance.

Designed and art directed by Studio Makgill and built by the talented team over at at Designers’ Friend, the site is a kind of teaser-taster hybrid with an excerpt from the book’s introductory essay, some examples of the kind of content we’ve featured and the practitioners we’ve interviewed, a sniff of the magazines, exhibitions and graduates showcased in the Annual and a look at our terrific sponsor G . F Smith.

Head over there, have a play around and then if I were you, I’d buy the book to boot!
