Computer Arts
One of my favourite magazines is the Computer Arts magazine. It is always packed with information and says what's new in the world of design.
It also says:
Books which are useful
Handy hits and tips
How to find a job in Design etc
There is a really interesting article in this month's magazine about 'creating original artwork in a copycat world', which says what you should and shouldn't do in a deja vu world of design. Definately worth a read!
