I love buying new magazines for plane rides, and two years ago I discovered my favorite magazine! I found Computer Arts at Barnes and Noble, in the craft section. I was so excited because I had never seen this mag before! It was a huge bonus that it also came with a disc of tips and tricks on different Adobe Creative Suite programs, and a free font. It was so helpful, the magazine is filled with new creative's work, brilliant ideas, and great advice. This specific issue of the mag had a portfolio section on do's and dont's! To this day I go back and read the portfolio section to keep me on track.
After my vacation I went back to Barnes and Noble to get the next issue of Computer Arts, but it was no where to be found. Last year for my birthday I asked for the subscription to the magazine. It is UK based, so I am assuming that is why Barnes and Noble only had it for a short time. The subscription is a bit pricey, but I am so happy to have it. I learn something new every month, and improve my skills with the disc that comes with each issue. I would recommend this magazine to every designer! I love it.

Looks like a great magazine, i'll have to check it out! I am an Interactive Media major here at Bradley, so I am very involved in Computer arts and digital design. Always good to find current and interesting things to read about that are relevant in the fast-changing digital arts world!
