Have you read any of these design magazines or gone to their websites?

[James Nored]

I am reading a great book right now entitled "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future." It is really about how certain global and cultural changes are moving us from a heavy left brain emphasis to a much more balanced left-right brain world. 

I will share later some of the great applications that this book has for ministry. However, I thought that this list from the book of design magazines and websites might be of interest. Here they are:

• Ambidextrous—A project of Stanford University’s d. school, this quirky magazine explores the craft of design and the nuances of design thinking. (More info: www.ambidextrousmag.com)
• Dwell—One of the most respected shelter magazines, Dwell has an ethic of public service and environmental responsibility that helps it stand out. (More info: www.dwellmag.com)
• HOW—This terrific magazine mostly focuses on graphic design. It also has lots of smart business advice, reading recommendations, and an annual design competition that’s a great source of ideas. (More info: www.howdesign.com)
• iD—This award-winning magazine is well known for its Annual Design Review, which singles out the year’s best designs—and for the iD 40, which introduces readers to up-and-coming designers. (More info: www.idonline.com)
• Metropolis—With a strong emphasis on construction and materials, this magazine offers tremendous insight into the built environment. I also like its coverage of sustainable design. (More info: www.metropolismag.com)
• O Magazine—Oprah Winfrey’s publication, which bears its creator’s design sensibility, is one of my three favorite magazines of any kind. Period. Read it, know it, live it. (More info: www.oprah.com/omagazine)
• Print—Another great graphic design magazine, this one is known for its voluminous Regional Design Annual. (More info: www.printmag.com)
• Real Simple—One designer I know calls this magazine her bible. Its theology is straightforward: “to bring clarity to everyday tasks, so readers can focus on what really adds meaning to their lives.” (More info: www.realsimple.com)
