When to use it.

Made for design studios, research teams and editors who publish a yearly or twice-yearly look at what is changing in their field. It opens with a cover and an editor's note, lists six key trends, gives one trend a chapter opener, then shows reader response as a quarterly chart, a pull quote, a full trend ledger with mood and year-on-year movement, and a colophon. It is set in cobalt ink on cream graph paper with large serif headlines and mono labels, like a two-colour risograph magazine.
