I never buy magazines!
Yep it’s true. I honestly cannot be bothered shelling out mega cash for something that I will probably read once and then throw underneath the coffee table, to gather dust. Likewise I hate the idea of such wastage of paper…I’d rather read something online thanks. There are however a few magazines that I will keep. I’m a sucker for sci-fi magazines like Analog, which I keep for reference as well as cooking magazines that are jammed with recipes. One magazine that pips all of these however is ImageFX, which is the ultimate graphic designer’s magazine.
When I was living over in London the magazine had just come out (January 2006). When I picked it up and started paging, I instantly knew that this was a design magazine for others of the genre to aspire to be.
ImageFX is brimming with the hottest science fiction, fantasy and manga design talent from all over the world.
The designers that are featured in this magazine actually make me sick they are THAT good. It just pains me and makes me sad when I see the design talent out there.
Fantasy art is always a good thing for me to get hold of, because it helps me think up awesome ideas for writing crazy stories. ImageFX always gets my creative brain juices flowing.
This month is special for ImageFX, because they are celebrating their BIG 50th ISSUE. WoW, congratulations to the ImageFX team. It’s good to see that a design magazine such as yours can make it in a market that is inundated with design orientated fakers. I suppose people know gold when they see it.
Keep blowing us away with your amazing content.
To kick off the 50th issue party, ImageFX has included design work from the Top 50 living artists on our beautiful blue orb. Legendary Craig Mullins will also speak about his career as a concept artist. Not to mention original concept art for the best sci-fi of the year, District 9.
Yep, it’s gonna be one kickass issue.
The only problem is scrounging enough cash to buy the mag. Unfortunately being an export of this calibre means that you will pay through the teeth. Prob around R150…if not more.
However, ImageFX magazine, as I mentioned earlier, is a magazine that you can keep forever. Not only are the designs so beautiful that you will want to keep them around just for inspiration, but it also has tons of tutorials for Photoshop, Illustrator, etc…
Rock on ImageFX. Issue 100 right around the corner. Yiiippppeeeeee J
Duncs.
