The first online zine I stumbled across I think I like the best: streetgraphic.com

I like it so much because it’s straight foward and in your face. I didn’t have to search through the web site to find the latest information or articles in and about the zine. It’s interactive with fan base as well; straight away I noticed an offer for an internship which is something I am very interested in right now. 

2. Second web site is great because it is business orientated. As graphic designers, I think we get wrapped up in the new and cool and what our art looks like, especially now in our lives while we are still studying design and really want to build our style. What we forget to think about is what’s going on in the business world of graphic design:

*graphicdefine.org is AWESOME as far as getting into the minds of the professionals. There are excerpts from world known graphic designers who publish books about the minds of designers and the business of graphic design. There are articles on how to deal with clients, how to understand what you are trying to sell as a designer, and other pointers that really have nothing to do with graphic design, like articles about the environment, i.e.”how to keep your office green” 

3. The third website it’s sort of cool and interesting, I didn’t like how I could only view the zine as a pdf. and the school’s computers wouldn’t let me load the zines but the point behind the website is really popular right now. The website is: http://revolutionart.publicistas.org/

“The objective of REVOLUTIONART is the one to serve as a inspirational source to artists, models, designers, advertisers, photographers, designers and communicators in general who wish to explore new alternatives of expression through graphical samples of design, photo, ads, fashion, music, and general visual arts. We’re coolhunters.”- revolutionart.org
