3 top-notch online magazines you should be reading

MAGWERK has 4 superb online magazine's to choose from. In my opinion, Encore and Play Music Magazine are the ones worth reading. Here is some more info on each mag:

Encore:


Inside spread of one of the designers featured in Encore #30

Having just published its 30th issue, Encore magazine is jam packed with various creative related articles and designer showcases. Their main sections are Design, Film, Art and Photography - which basically covers the whole spectrum. All thrown together in a nifty flash interface which includes interactive ads.

I believe this interface will become extremely popular in the coming years as an effective publishing medium. It brings a fresh approach and experience to actually reading the magazine and makes it interesting.

PlayMusicMagazine


Index page - playmusicmagazine

Another magazine by MAGWERK. Covering most music genre's, playmusicmagazine is well written and well designed, providing loads of interactivity. Plenty of music snippets for you to listen to and I've actually found some good bands from reading this magazine. So it's definitely worth a visit.

ROYAL magazine


ROYAL's homepage

The Royal Magazine focuses on design, culture and capitalism. KDU (Keystone Design Union) are the guys behind the publication. KDU, for those out the loop, are a "Global Fraternal Creative Collective dedicated to creating and managing innovative design centric objects, brands and experiences." The publication features an array of creative elements and is an insanely tight product. Available in their online flash viewer or to download as a PDF.

This is why Amon Tobin rocks

So if you're a fan of Amon Tobin like I am, you might already know that he is going to be releasing a new album soon. But I wasn't aware of his new site, which seems to be a promo thing to go along with the new album release. The general idea is to explore this "underwater" world and find the 5 different recording samples and obviously do stuff with them. I havn't been able to find them so I can't tell you exactly what goes on.

Here it is!
