Despite the inhospitable climate and unimpressive financial gains, many young magazines seem largely undeterred from entering the hostile waters of print publishing. One such publication that aims to defy expectations is [Works that Work](https://worksthatwork.com/?ref=protein.xyz).

Billing itself as the ‘*National Geographic* of design’, Works that Work intends to take a closer, more informed look at design around the world. With an ambitious editorial statement and conceptual pieces, the first issue features a diverse range of articles. From interviews with military veterans about their experiences with the US Army’s visual guides in Afghanistan to an excerpt from the 1993 comedy ‘Universal Language’ by David Ives, the remit seems intriguingly broad.
