Issue Zero

MIDLE Issue Zero is the first public printed edition of MIDLE and a developed prototype for the forthcoming Issue One.

Created in York, this 20-page publication brings together emerging work and perspectives from students, recent graduates, educators, studios and creative organisations. It explores the ideas, experiences and challenges shaping the space between creative education and professional practice.

Issue Zero was produced to test and develop MIDLE’s editorial structure, visual identity and approach to presenting emerging creative work. It includes a selection of visual projects, personal reflections and industry perspectives that established the foundation of the publication.

Rather than being replaced, these pages will form the core of the expanded Issue One. The next edition will retain and further develop the content introduced here, alongside approximately 20–40 additional pages of new work, contributors, interviews and creative perspectives.

Issue Zero therefore offers an early record of MIDLE at a formative stage: the first physical edition of a growing student-led platform built around creative visibility, confidence and professional connection.

Printed in A5 format as a 20-page, saddle-stitched publication on uncoated paper stock.

Please note: this purchase includes MIDLE Issue Zero only. The expanded Issue One will be released separately. Product details
