American Cinematographer

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Arts and Photography
from: Amer Soc of Cinematographer


American Cinematographer can work for you or against you. I started a five year relationship that has recently ended. At the time about to attend film school, I needed all the help I could get to always be one-step ahead of everyone else.

The magazine did wonders. I knew more than the professors. Cinematography is a craft that should be practiced as well as read, of course, so my knowledge never reflected what I could actually do behind the lens. Reading specific articles while following along with a DVD copy of the article's movie is a wonderful exercise. The photographs in the magazine never quite live up to par with the real deal. If I wasn't concerned with spoilers, I wouldd read AC, then skip over to the theater and ... Read More:

Workbench

from: August Home Publishing

November 23, 2001
I have been a Workbench subscriber for a little over three years, but I've been purchasing the magazine for almost a decade. When the magazine first came out, it focused on tools and woodworking projects for the home and shop. However, around January 2007, they did a radical re-design. In my opinion, for the worse.

Now, Workbench magazine is a home decor magazine with a woodworking slant. It is more along the lines of a Good Housekeeping with a few simplistic tool reviews and a variety of home decor projects such as storage ideas, home makeovers, and appliance guides.

As stated before, Workbench no longer appeals to the woodworker in me. Their current emphasis on home decorating projects and articles such as "Fancy ... Read More:

Model Railroader

Don't be fooled by the colorful covers, inside you'll find a lack of anything useful, perhaps one or two articles per month. It used to be a wonderful magazine and has dwindled over the years into advertisements and repetitive nonsense.

Jpg Magazine

There is really no reason to buy this magazine when all of the content is on-line (including all of the best stuff that doesn't make it to print).

Landscape Architecture

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Arts and Photography
from: Amer Soc Landscape Architects


This is a fine magazine with varied and interesting stories in every issue. A little America-centric and a tad heavy on the advertising. Difficult to find second hand as it is a great reference for professionals as well as inspiring for hobbists.

Woodworker's Journal, The

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Arts and Photography
from: Woodworkers Journal

November 23, 2001
Woodworkers Journal has been around a long time (40 years maybe?). Its because it is such a well written, well rounded magazine. Its my go to magazine for projects (which I have built many). The issue size is good, the writing top-notch, and projects galore. Good for the price, good for the projects, good for the write-ups. Their reviews of tools are usually spot on. I just find this and Fine Woodworking the best of the bunch.

This is the only magazine, I keep in my collection. I have used several charts to make gifts. I also trade some of my patterns with Cross-Stitchers all over the world. This is one I will renew for years to come.

Pointe

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Arts and Photography
from: MacFadden Performing Arts Media LLC

November 23, 2001
Pointe Magazine is the finest American magazine devoted exclusively(more or less) to ballet, as opposed to other dance styles. It is geared towards both men and women equally, and is at an adult level. The quality of the coverage is great, and there are lots of interesting regular features, such as highlighting a dancer of the month and question and answers of famous dancers. The quality of the photography is top notch, as is the fantastic paper it is printed on. It is also very affordable. I don't know any ballet dancers who don't subscribe to Pointe!

I'd like to write a good review for this publication but since I have yet to receive it, I can't. I ordered it on June 11th and here it is a month later and I still don't have it.

Live and learn,
