You're not kidding about How magazine. Two years ago (2), they published the direction they were moving in. Complete with concepts and layouts. It looked to be mostly finished. While I didn't think it was the greatest design, it was FAR better than the current iteration.

I read an editorial response recently to a reader question about the phantom site redesign. The response was that they didn't have the time or money to finish the site and launch it.

Seems a bit hypocritical after reading all the articles about taking care of your own business and doing whatever it takes to build up your self promotion.

Steven, I read the same two articles. Talk about doing what you preach. And, yes, the design wasn't the greatest, but it was more dynamic and it looked more interesting.

This might not be true, but I think Grafik was the firm that was redesigning their site.

Anybody know the deal with Print Magazine. As far as I'm concerned it's the best, but they apparently have fallen on hard times and are having trouble getting issues out. Perhaps all the designers out there can take up a collection and help out. Let's not let that great magazine fall victim to the economy.

I read something somewhere that they were having financial problems. A lot of people complained about subscribing and not getting anything. And they have just put out like 2 issues in the last year. It's sad, because it is one of the better publications.

Re: Sagmeister on the web...

I will been first in line to see a Sagmeister site, but he is so established now, and so good at what he does -- he simply doesn' t need one.

A fact that just makes him all the more bad-ass.

Ditto for James

What happened to Graphis?

Graphis the magazine? it's still going. I think they have a quarterly publication and not much fanfare.
