It’s MANKIND MAG release day! I thought I’d do something a bit different this month, and rather than tell you how great this issue is, show you the inspiration behind it through my letter to the editor. So… here you go!:
There’s a great Priscilla Ahn song that is one of the more
beautiful tunes I’ve heard in a long time. [Priscilla Ahn “A Good Day (Morning Song)"... download it asap.]
This song has been the soundtrack of my life the past few weeks. I’m actually very embarrassed to say I’ve listened to it on repeat for a full eight hours while editing these articles. I know. It’s that good.
Anyway, I’m getting somewhere with this. There is so much beauty in this world. There really is. It is my hope that we can see the pretty things around us amidst the ugly. I feel so blessed to live in a land of opportunity. Of spirit. Of courage, hope and integrity.
I can only wish that you feel the same.
And although this may be a tiny independent art/design magazine, I speak from my heart when I write that it is my wish to open our eyes. I want to focus on the beauty that our world has to offer.
“I can tell it’s gonna be a good day.”
-Priscilla Ahn
Love always,
Your editor,
Erin E. Loechner

For those of you who are new to Design for Mankind, I have a fun little side project entitled ‘Mankind Mag.’ It’s a monthly art/design PDF magazine that is somewhat of an extension of what you find daily here on Design for Mankind. Full of editorial, interviews and exciting new content from various emerging artisans, it’s a really great read if you’re in need of some inspiration.
Purchase the 90-page mag below for $1.99.
[Hint: there's a special prize inside, including a free music download and a virtual letter from the editor. Eek!]
And while it’s downloading, enjoy a little sneak peek, on me. ;)
Wheee! A new year, a new look. And a shiny, new Mankind Mag brand. I have a ton of people to thank for the re-brand, but you’ll read all of that inside. For now, I want to send you off to devour the NEWEST issue of Mankind Mag– all 73 pages of it!

Another month, another mag. In case you’re unfamiliar with things here at Design for Mankind, each month I publish a print/online magazine chock-full of inspiration from the emerging art/design/craft community. I’m so pleased to present the third issue today and want to thank this issue’s premium sponsor, Jason George (Italian fine art photographer), for making it all possible!

Whew! I’m so excited to release Issue Two of Mankind Mag: The HAIR Issue! I think you’ll L-O-V-E it, as the issue is chock full of over thirty smashing artists, photographers and designers, plus a debut memoir from Yours Truly. And no, I’m not joking. ;)

Also, we’re trying something new here at Design for Mankind. Many of you have written me asking if I’ll begin charging to download the magazine online. The answer is no, not yet. BUT, for those of you who have asked, I’ll now be accepting donations. This was a tough decision for me, because I truly love what I’m doing and would do it for free forever! :)
Just know that if you do decide to donate, the money you provide will go directly back into the magazine. I’d eventually like to hire a graphic designer and afford for all contributors to receive a copy. Until I have the funds to make that happen, I’m making do with what I’ve got, but I’d love to be able to do more! That’s where your donations come in, so thanks to those of you who offered the suggestion.
If you feel inclined to do so, please click the button below and you’ll be redirected to Paypal where you can contribute however much you’d like.
