What the FAQs

Each downloadable volume of Number One Journal is a standalone collectible, built around an exclusive cover story and intimate conversation with a singular artist redefining their field.

Our legacy editions are limited-run print objects — curated collections of artist features that orbit a single, unifying theme.

As a single-drop publication deep diving on one artist at a time, we’re able to align with each artists promotion cycles and release cover stories several times a year without the constraints of a fixed release schedule.

Basically, if we have something to say, we say it. If not, sssssush.

Number One Journal is an international publication written in English — based in Paris.

Though our cover stories read as organic conversations, we usually take a minimum of 6 months to a year to research a specific artist before proposing to create a dedicated volume on them.

The resulting cover editorials are hyper-stylized character portraits, alongside an in-depth interview that’s sidelined by handwritten notes all throughout. Making the reading experience more akin to an intimate message thread rather than a classic journalistic profile — A playful juxtaposition between high-concept visuals and out-of-pocket dialogue.

We produce every issue in-house. And though we don’t take submissions or commission photographers, we are always looking to meet and collaborate with all other kinds of creatives — film directors, video editors, CGI artists, fashion editors, costume designers, visual artists, choreographers, set designers, beauty artists, etc.
