Graphis

  I've decided to have my first blog be about Graphis. Before 2004 Graphis published magazines that had works  from fine artists and illustrators, as well as photography and advertising. Now Graphis has their own website with a complete archive of award-winning work from the annuals, the introduction of the new Journal, and my favorite digital versions of the past magazines.
I first learned about Graphis last semester when I was able to get a few copies of their magazines. I thought they were the best things ever so I subscribed for more of them. Funny thing was, I thought I was subscribing to get copies of the actual magazine not access to their website and the digital versions. After a lot of complications, I was finally able to get all my money back.
I was attracted to the magazines so much because their different from the kind you get at the grocery store. There better constructed for one, have more content and they have things I'm actually interested in and want to read.There's information about graphic design, fine artists, illustrators, photography, and advertising from the specific time of the issue. As the times changed so did the magazine until eventually people stopped buying them and in 2004 they stopped publishing them. Luckily if there is anyone who wants to purchase an actual magazine you still can through the Graphis web site. I have to say their a little expensive, but when you think about how much the magazine has it's worth it. I think it's more like a book then a magazine myself.
