This Friday, the bible of the design industry, Computer Arts magazine, reaches its milestone 300th issue. And it's marking the occasion by undergoing an eye-catching refresh.
The new look is already evident on the cover (below), which uses a special die-cut technique to frame the issue's main interviewee, New York Times designer Tracy Ma, and encloses three free art card prints from Ma, design legends Stefan Sagmeister and Jessica Walsh, and the impactful illustrator Alva Skog.
