Print (1-year)
Print Magazine has a stiff price for very little substance and lots of advertising. I am disappointed and vote thumbs down for this magazine.I thought I would try this magazine to see if it really did generate some ideas and creativity. However, (in my opinion) the art work and creativity inside is very lame compared to the covers. You cannot judge this book by the cover as the covers are pretty eye catching, but there are mostly ads and silly stories inside. This may have been a misunderstanding on my part regarding what the magazine's purpose is. So if you want ads and current "thought" on print media this may be good.Print magazine is a MUST for any designer and a good resource for graphic artists in general. With web design and digital media dominating the market place these days, Print keeps artists informed and educated in their roots. The international taste of the magazine ensures an eclectic mix of what is current and creative in the design community. All designers and art enthusiasts should read Print.This magazine was a required subscription for a design class. Very nice paper used and the cover designs entice me to read, but after opening I have a hard time finding much inspiration amongst the massive amount of advertising. I recommend flipping through it on the newsstand (if you can, there's a ton of heavy card stock ads in there) and maybe buying it whenever you see something of interest. Very little bang for your buck in a subscription.great magazine for any designer out there! great info on upcoming design events, contests, and also lets you know what is going on in the big world around you involving design. pick it up if you are serious about design
