the magazine
Been Magazine was founded January 1st, 2019 in New York by Andy Davies, an art director and photographer with almost 40 years experience in the design industry and a passion for travel, hiking, wildlife, art, design and photography. Been was exclusively a limited run print magazine distributed directly to the best magazine shops in New York, Portland, Zürich, London and Amsterdam. In March 2020, as pandemic shutdowns kicked in, issue #3 never made it to the shops (they were all closed at the time) and sales never fully recovered afterwards. The third issue, featuring a cover design collaboration with illustrator Viktor Koen, received a Silver Graphis Award in the annual Graphic Design competition. Limited back issues are available.
