I like Computer Arts magazine
09.08.07Filed Under: Inspiration, Resources
As what title said, I Like Computer Arts! For the pass few months I had been buying several design magazines to get more readings and inspiration apart from the web research, such as Computer Arts (RM42), Practical Web Design (RM29.90) and Web Designer Mag (RM46.90). I had gone through these three books and all of them are nice to read, but I think Computer Arts appeals more.
Well is kinda unfair to compare in such a way because these three mag has their own function and target area. I like Computer Arts because it is more round up, I can get to see creative people’s showcase… inspiring tutorial and the Free CD content is rich too! I am here are not promoting this book but it is really nice to read with great content.
I think I will continue to buy the CA’s future issues. This does not mean that I will stop buying the other two, if there’s chance to meet them in the bookshelfs because, all these mags are hard to find thou in Malaysia… but you can find it in MPH, My-News and Popular bookstores if you ask where i get those.
Computer Arts mag, definitely a great resource and inspiration magazine that worth every penny.

I personally think they target niche markets.

Geared more to web design and development
Web Designer Mag
Never really read it but I’ve flipped through. Also targets the web designer however doesn’t really promote the importance of web standards and etc.
What I really wish Malaysia brought in:
Desktop (Australia)
Marketing (Australia)
The last time I was at MPH and Borders, they ain’t got it no more. When I last saw it, they only placed 2 sad copies there.
I guess everyone thinks reading Australia stuff isn’t for the right market here.

It’s quite a nice magazine for digital arts.

April 10th, 2008 at 12:39 amActually I found two different price for Practical Web Design, one is RM32.90 (no longer RM29.90) and another is like what u mentioned, closing to rm50. I think you should check the mag at MyNews stand or Kinokuniya KLCC, they are selling at RM32.90.
