I discovered Flashkit in August thanks to this wonderful English magazine... I read number 3 and then I went back to Catalonia... I read it, and re-read it for ages!
This Xmas I decided to suscribe. Is a wonderful magazine, and together with FK is my principal source of inspiration...
Issue number 8 is a wonderful work about navigation... a must! :)

Yeah phooka - me 2! I looked at it a couple of times and bought the issue that was on Salaries - ARE YOU WORTH £200K? Issue 6. (Got it on my lap right now) Very interesting... So I subscribed. Whats in Issue 8 - havent got it yet...

As I said, that issue is called the "Navigation Issue". But I prefered another article, one that refered to how web designs could improve by taking some guidelines from videogaming...
That inspired me to re-design my web site! :D
They've created a new section for training and learning... is a bit like FK, they keep on growing and adding small goodies here and there! :)

Oh Phook dude cool! I JUST subscribed a few days ago, i'm so excited! I've been reading Fortune, but thats more business, this will be about DESIGN! YES!

Create online has to be the best magazine for web desingers/developers.
Full of intesrting articles, full of cool sites, looks nice and its down to earth!
Plus the navigation issue last week rocked!
Hey DO - Indeed long time no talk! How you doing?
I'm assuming you mean how long does CO take to get to my house [rather than how long would it take you :D]. being as I'm in the UK I would get, say, the February issue near the beginnig of January [strage eh?].
Guy: I see you're a fan too! Did u catch issue #1???

Hey, so what's their addy? How can i check out "the magazine for website designers?" Can I get it at like my local Barnes and Noble? Thanks,
yes i got all the issues in the office!

Must be a European magazine? Don't think we get it in the cold reaches of Canada, heh. I'd like to check it out though.
It's a British web design/internet magazine, and it rules.
for those of you in the US, you can likely find it at any Barnes & Noble, good luck with it becuase it seems they only get 5 copies at the most.
If you have a store called Magazine Superstand (one of God's many gifts to my life, I read around 12 magazines a month) they usually seem to get around 12 issues.
It's a great magazine, don't know what I would do without it.
If in the US, be prepared to pay $15 an issue.

if it wasn't obvious, here's the website:

i think you can subscribe online, too... i ran into it at CompUSA of all places !!! it was so intriguing to me... (issue 002) the banner is dead... what a great cover :) and the content was wonderful... i love it
This is why I am going to start hanging out in the boardroom--post like these.
I actually have a subscription--so expensive over here(Texas)--but, is one of my favorite magazines. I have issue 1-8. I also get "Computer Arts"--which I think is pretty cool too.--Has anyone heard of "Digital Publishing Design Graphics"? It's a Aussie Magazine--The only reason I bring it up is because Mark Fennell has ray of light tutorial feature in it. Which I thought was pretty cool.:) They stopped stocking those mags at Barnes & Noble--damn shame.

i subscribed a few days ago.. scary!
It's difficult to find the magazine in England too. It looks like with the first 3 issues they made far too much production and there was not enough demand (after all is quite an especialized magazine). They did cut a part of the production, so lots of places in England would receive only 2-3 issues or not even one!
In Issue number 8 they said that this problem will be solved ASAP. However, I wanted to make sure I got all the Issues so I suscribed...
I aggree, Guy, the Issue about interfaces is absolutely great... I've looked at all the sites there and I always feel the same: wonderful... but I can do better! :D That is one of the best features of the magazine, it motivates you to go in front of the computer and work! :)
BTW, who liked the article about how videogaming could affect the way we design? It honestly made me go ballistic! :D
Regards,
do you think I'll have to pay much mail-fees (sorry don't know the expression in english) to subscribe in AUSTRIA? (not AUSTRALIA :D)
It's 50 british pounds for 13 issues a year... 13000 pesetas... and I don't have a clue about Austrian Currency! However: the spanish peseta is very low comparing to pounds, and I still think the deal is a wonder! Check it out!Quote:

(BTW, I am not getting money for this ppl! :D :D :D)
how about looking it up on their website -
that's what I've just done
dammit-you can only pay by credit card, I don't have one
maybe I should tell me next customer "don't pay me, just send me a subscritption of cre@te online" :D
I read that twice only because I love video games and design--I don't know if playing them deepens a designers instictive understanding of interactive media. But I do believe that the gaming industry will eventually go on-line and media agencies are going to be looking for many Flash game developers who understand navigation and can produce new forms of content.Quote:

yep, i read it, but i have to shell out the big bucks since i live in the US and Barnes and Nobles charges out the yin-yang for it, any other americans get a subscription yet?!? i ask cuz i wanna get it but i cant do the pounds to dollar conversation, plus who do you call in the states to get a subscription. any info would be great.

great magazine, I subscribed a few months ago but it takes ages to get it because I am based in England and get it sent to my home but am working in Dublin, Ireland for the forseeable future so have to get it forwarded or pick up a pile when I pop back now and again!!!!!
I suppose I should get it sent here. humph, more money though!
Ah hah! Chapters here in Ontario has it. THey carry every bok and magazine imaginable. Very nice :)
Yeah, some very good ideas in that article. I especially liked the idea of a reward system. Surf the site more and collect rewards which open up secret areas etc. I suppose it is obvious that we get ideas from game designers, they have been around since the dark ages whereas web design is quite a newish industry. I have been suscribing from issue1 and got a special deal coz already suscribe to 3 future publishing mags. Anyone buy computer arts or computer arts special ?Quote:

I really like Cre@te Online...The interviews are very good, and you get some pretty interesting sites reviewed...
I would like to see more articles about designers not living in the UK,though...Too much is concentrated on british design, and although good, you have some pretty amazing people other places in the world as well! :)
After reading all your positive comments about this mag, I subscribed!
I can't wait til receiving the first issue!
Computer Arts is another gr8 magazine. Though it's more inthe way of new programmes, like Photo 6, etc... It gives you tutorials on Flash, Maya, everything - Pretty dam good btw
:D
