REDSTAR was founded in July 2003 with the initial aim of producing Qingdao's first English-language guide, launched 1st September 2003. We now publish 22 magazines per year, and this accounts for about 60% of our total business:

*REDSTAR monthly (re-named INQINGDAO for a time)
*INZHUHAI bi-monthly
*REDSAIL quarterly

In addition we take on an increasing amount of graphic design (everything from a brochure or a custom map, to the development of a complete corporate visual identity).

Creating events has always been an important part of REDSTAR: from a monthly 'unplugged' night to the city's biggest Music and Art eXpo (MAX which takes place each March, MAX 09 will be the 3rd annual event). In April 2008 we launched Qingdao's first ever stand-up comedy club, bringing 'Punchline' from the UK. Due to the lack of suitable venues for such events we created our own: the REDSTAR space can seat 150 people and has stage, lights, projector and sound system.
