Graphic Design Magazines for Inspiration
Transcription
[BLANK_AUDIO] [MUSIC] Oh, well my name is Dima and I'm, I'm in graphic design program at Algonquin College and I just graduated. Well the project that I was working on is an application for iO, iOS and the project is basically an app that would help kids or people who are suffering from bullying so it's kind of an anti bullying social network. So it's kind of, it's called, It Gets Better. So it, the idea behind it is to let know all the people who are suffering from bullying or any act of bullying that it's going to get better some day. And basically the app is a live chat, that kids can go or youth, you know, a high school student, whoever is suffering from that, would go to this chat menu, and talk to people or counselors, or people who can help. And it's kind of like a live chat for everybody. And it's anonymous, so you don't have to write your name. You don't have to say who you are or talk about, about your personal life or anything. You can just say well I feel bad that this happened to me today, somebody just hit me today and I need help. And the app actually will help you report incidents and will help you get the help you need, if you're in danger. So it's, it was really hard to pick something that's wasn't out there already because there is a lot of apps nowadays. Like you would just go to behance.com or any design inspiration website and you will find a lot of ideas. Even if you think you got this idea that is unique, you might find it somewhere. So, the challenge was to actually find something that wasn't there and it's, like, helpful for people and would actually do something good for the community, not just another app. I'd like to thank Algonquin and the graphic design program and especially Jed Looker, our interactive teacher, for helping me make this app better and to actually apply to Applied Arts and to win the award.

History
Founding
Launched in 1926 and originally titled The Art Digest, it was printed semi-monthly from October to May and monthly from June to September.[1] Its stated purpose was to provide complete coverage of arts exhibitions in America, collated from all relevant news sources.
Growth
Art Digest was later purchased by James N. Rosenberg and Jonathan Marshall, who subsequently owned and published the Scottsdale Daily Progress newspaper. In 1954, the title was changed to Arts Digest;[2] then, in 1955, the title was changed to ARTS. The word "Digest" was dropped because, as Marshall explained in the September 15, 1955 issue, the magazine was introducing newer features, design modernization, and seeking a widening audience. "We realized that there was a great need in this country for a serious art magazine to serve the growing public," the announcement stated. "Perhaps," he continued, "the best description of our editorial aims in the new ARTS can be found in the words interesting, unbiased, and authoritative."[3] Contributors to that issue included J.P. Hodin, Martica Sawin, Robert Rosenblum, Ada Louise Huxtable, and Dore Ashton, whose article "What is 'avant-garde'?" was the feature essay.
Three years after Marshall and Rosenberg sold the publication in 1958, in 1961, its name was changed to Arts Magazine.[4] Regular contributors at the time included Donald Judd, Sidney Tillim, Annette Michelson, Michael Fried, Lawrence Alloway, Jan Butterfield, and April Kingsley.
The magazine's offices were in New York City and it was last published by Art Digest, Co.[5] The magazine was glossy and priced at $4.00 a copy in 1981. The April 1981 issue had a cover story called "Gertrude Greene: Constructions of the 1930s and 1940s", written by Jacqueline Moss.
Closure
The last issue to reach subscribers was in March 1992, featuring Alexandra Anderson-Spivy on artist Rackstraw Downes and Annie Sprinkle on Jeff Koons. The April issue was published but never mailed. Editors at the time[6] included Dore Ashton, Jerry Saltz, Barry Schwabsky, Bill Jones, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, Peter Selz, John Yau, Elizabeth Frank, and Jeanne Siegel.
Revival
As of 2020, the magazine is in the process of a revival. A new team of writers from leading media publications (e.g. The New York Times) and universities (Vanderbilt, New York University) has been assembled and website in developed and prepared for the official launch.[7]
