Received my copy a few days ago – Honestly, one of my favourite magazine cover designs ever, plus some really useful tutorials and features this issue. The importance of fonts when it comes to web design (and design in general) is often overlooked for some of the more flashy techniques. Keep up the fantastic work guys and girls! =)
Really great magazine. Because I subscribe to the iPad version, I don’t have access to the tutorial files on cd. I see that older issues have their files up in your archives section, is there a place to view files for the current version, or do I have to wait until the next issue is out?
My CD doesn’t work!
I bought 2 copies!
“The Science of Layout” is an excellent article — I’d like to get all our clients to read it.
Love the Periodic Table of Typeface and associated article! Genius!
The Periodic Table of Typefaces is awesome. You should sell that as a poster! I would absolutely hang that in our office.

Hi,
I would like to get a copy of this issue but they’re all sold out in South Africa. I’m very much interested in the “Layout Science” article. Is there anybody willing to sell me their copy? Please email me at:asyakob@gmail.com.
