Y Media is a publishing atelier that transforms visual culture into printed works — where ideas become physical, stories become objects, and culture enters the world with presence.
We create bespoke publications for art, design, culture, brands, archives, and personal narratives through editorial thinking, refined design, paper exploration, folding, binding, printing, and production craft.

SIGNATURE COLLECTION
Y Media is a publishing atelier founded by Yasser Rizky, graphic designer, creative director, and founder of Yasser Rizky Inc., from a simple conviction: meaningful ideas deserve thoughtful publication.
In a time where everything can be seen, but not everything becomes real, Y Media exists for stories, images, and ideas that deserve more than temporary visibility.
Images circulate.
Stories pass.
Culture appears, performs, and disappears into the speed of the screen.
Y Media moves visual culture beyond this condition — into physical presence.
The company publishes books on design, typography, art, branding, visual culture, biographies, catalogues, and other subjects where ideas, images, and narratives intersect. Its focus is not simply on producing books, but on creating publications that give lasting form to knowledge, practice, memory, and cultural discourse.
At Y Media, a book is understood as more than a vessel for content.
Its paper stock, typography, binding, format, folding, finishing, and method of production are not treated as technical afterthoughts, but as decisions that shape how a work is experienced, understood, and remembered.
A publication is where an idea becomes matter. Where a story becomes structure. Where images find rhythm, weight, texture, and permanence.
This approach stems from the belief that books about culture, art, design, branding, and human experience should embody the same level of care, intention, and craft as the subjects they document.
Form and content are developed together, each informing the other throughout the publishing process.
Every publication is approached as both an editorial project and a designed object — made to be read, studied, collected, and revisited over time.
Through publishing, editorial direction, design, paper exploration, folding, binding, printing, and craft, Y Media gives ideas a body, stories a form, and culture a place in the world.
Not just seen.
Made present

“In a world obsessed with visibility, I am interested in what remains — ideas that become physical, stories that gain structure, and culture that finds a body.
— Yasser Rizky
Yasser Rizky is a graphic designer, creative director, and founder of Yasser Rizky Inc., a Jakarta-based design and branding practice working across identity, visual culture, typography, publication design, and strategic communication.
His work is rooted in the belief that design is not only a matter of appearance, but a way of shaping how ideas are understood, remembered, and experienced. Across his practice, Yasser has worked with brands, institutions, cultural figures, artists, and private clients to develop visual systems, narratives, publications, and communication objects with clarity, character, and cultural sensitivity.
Y Media was founded as an extension
of this practice.
of this practice.
After years of working with identity, storytelling, paper, typography, books, catalogues, and cultural materials, Yasser saw the need for a publishing platform that treats books not merely as products, but as designed objects of thought. A platform where editorial direction, visual intelligence, material experimentation, and production craft can come together in one complete publishing process.
For Yasser, publishing is a way to give form
to what should not disappear.
to what should not disappear.
It is where ideas become physical, stories become structured, and visual culture gains a presence beyond the temporary speed of the screen.
Through Y Media, he brings together his background in graphic design, branding, art direction, typography, and cultural storytelling to create publications that are made to be read, studied, collected, and revisited over time.
Y Media is an independent publishing house shaped by vision, curation, writing, design, and the craft of making books.
We are visionaries, curators, editors, writers, designers, art directors, researchers, and makers — working together to transform ideas, images, archives, and narratives into publications with presence.
Founded by Yasser Rizky, Y Media was created for books that require more than production. We work with stories that need direction, subjects that need perception, and visual culture that deserves to exist beyond temporary attention.
Our work moves across design, typography, art, branding, visual culture, biographies, catalogues, cultural documentation, and commissioned publications. Each project is shaped from multiple points of view: the eye of a designer, the structure of an editor, the sensitivity of a curator, the clarity of a writer, and the discipline of production craft.
For us, publishing is not a linear process. It is a conversation between idea and form.
We think through the concept, the narrative, the image. The sequence, the paper, the typesetting, the rhythm, and the way the final object is held. Every decision matters because every decision changes how a story is understood.
A publication should not only contain meaning. It should become meaningful in itself.
Y Media creates books and printed works for ideas that are ready to take form.
