Creative Review includes topics cover-
ing all aspects of graphic design, but a
large percentage of the articles cover
type-related issues. Established in
London in but with a global circu-
lation, the print magazine is recognized
as an authoritative barometer of what is
happening in the world of graphics and
typography. Furthermore, its extensive
website features subject-driven tabs that
fi lter all type-specifi c articles, although
only subscribers can access much of the
online content.
Eye Magazine

London-based Eye magazine is a quar-
terly graphic design journal with issues
themed around specifi c design topics,
including typography. The design stan-
dards and quality of the writing are
extremely high, with a raft of knowledge-
able industry commentators. It’s a must
read for professional designers, students,
and indeed anyone with an interest in
graphic design and visual culture. Sub-
scriptions are available worldwide and
collectors covet the back issues.
Magazine
www.howdesign.com
magazine covers all the bases with
regard to its content, not just typogra-
phy, but each of the six issues per year
contains type-specifi c articles. There
are occasionally special, combined, or
expanded issues, and subscribers get a
lot for their money.
Founded in and published by
Cincinnati, Ohio–based Publica-
tions, the magazine’s goal is to give
designers advice about how to be more
creative, manage their workload and
business, improve software skills, and
so on. Profi les of infl uential and success-
ful design professionals also make up a
key portion of the magazine’s content.
The brand now extends beyond the print
magazine through its program of annual
events and conferences, its design com-
petitions, and its book-publishing arm.
Plus its website, which acts as a portal for
the range of
activities, is also infor-
mation-packed and a useful bookmark.
