Online Graphic Design mags

Ok, so apparently this one was for one of the days I missed, so here I am to try to play catch-up. (wish i could say the same for the catching up with the rest of this class – ah well…..there’s still time….I think).

I don’t do a lot of actual reading on-line. Too much time in front of the pc and my body complains loudly, but I do love having the access for research, ideas, and the like. So, having on-line mags is helpful but I have to say, I still love having the print mags in many cases. One of the things I don’t like about on-line mags is that there just isn’t a whole lot of past information without a hastle or just not at all. There just isn’t storage space for most ‘publishers’.

The first mag I saw was for Graphic Design USA (gdusa.com). This one I didn’t find quite as helpful as some. Though it was fairly navigatable, it was almost too brief to be too helpful. But it had some little tidbits that make it worth coming back to visit.

The next one is How Magazine (howdesign.com). This one was nice. Lots of information, lots of style. It actually looked like a design magazine only on-line. It was still very navigational but very nice.

The last is Printmag.com. This, like the How, also offered a subscription. And like How, it looks and feels like a design magazine.

I have to say, I am getting more in-tune with the web thing and am looking forward to checking back on some of these mags and some more….

Thanks for being patient. And we’ll talk again soon.
