Good question Chris,

I have not found a design magazine that I like, that I would pay for.
I read Wired, BusinessWeek (online and off), and Fast Company to have
a toe or two in the "real world" so I'm not so insulated. I chose BW
and FC as business resources b/c they actually cover "design"
usefully. Wired is just fun. The blogsphere is my real domain of
useful content around design, but it is easy to become insular since
blogs turn into circles of connections all referencing each other. I
try hard to branch out from time to time, but its hard as like I said
the connections are circular. Even if you think you are branching out,
it often turns back on itself and re-connects at some point. I.e.
Armano's "Logic + Emotion" is not linked into BusinessWeek. It's good
that they find each other, but once they start influencing each other,
it reduces the value in reading both sometimes (this one isn't the
best example).

Anyway, good question. I'm curious if anyone has found a design zine
worth buying.
