At ninemoons, we approach editorial work as artistic practice—where content and form are intrinsically intertwined. We consider that the manner in which something is expressed and the form in which it takes shape are as significant as the content itself. Our expertise spans from editorial curation to the final printed material, integrating knowledge from fine arts, anthropology, book design, and both empirical and theoretical research. For us, the layout and composition of a book is never merely an aesthetic decision but rather embodies meaning, shaping how the reader engages with the material. Our practice involves placing and relating content. We investigate how locating, distributing, and connecting the components (texts, images, figures, etc.) contribute to the meaning — sometimes subtly, sometimes profoundly. That’s what we call a third content: a latent dimension that often escapes immediate notice, yet carries deep, sometimes critical, weight.
To create printed matter with ninemoons is to enter a shared space — where every typographic decision, sequence, and spatial relation participates in meaning-making. We treat the page not as a container but as a site of inquiry — accompanying each project from its earliest impulse to the final print. Upon agreement, we’re also glad to engage with specific phases of the process, ensuring that every project radiates its intended message.If you're seeking to create printed matter, we would be delighted to collaborate and work alongside you.
