Design lndaba magazine: first, Second and Third Quarter 2006

Abstract

Broadly speaking, non-academic South African magazines dedicated to, or featuring graphic design fall into one of two categories: those that carry advertising and those that do not. Slotting into the latter category are magazines such as Afro, 1-Jusi and Sheet which are self-pub li shed by graphic designers. Driven by the need to articulate experimental expressive graphic design and freed from commercial constraints these magazines are published infrequently and are accountable only to the designers who create them. In the former category, we find magazines that are published regularly and operate firmly within the realm of commerce such as Contempo, One Small Seed, Design, Enjin and Design lndaba .
