Review
Digital Creative Arts was launched in June 2003
and was aimed at 'aspiring and professional digital
creatives'. The first addition of the magazine was
a large 148 page publication, and offered a broader
range of tutorials than Future Publishing's Computer
Arts, its main competitor. The difference from
the start between these two heavy weight magazines
was the emphasis Digital Creative Arts was to place
on software rarely featured in Future's title. Both
titles now deliver around 114 pages, around 30%
containing advertising.
The well presented tutorials featuring programs
like Corel Draw and Final Cut Pro are common place
in Digital Creative Arts, and the screenshots and
instructions are clear. It shuld be noted here that
there is a difference between the tutorials in Digital
Creative Arts and those in Computer Arts. I read
through the tutorials that were offered in both
magazines during the same monthly period, and there's
no doubt those offered in Digital Creative Arts
had the edge in terms of clarity. The style of Computer
Arts is very carefully maintained, but the results
in smaller screenshots
Computer Arts had established itself as the best
selling creative magazine by the time Digital Creative
Arts came onto the scene, so it was clear Digital
Creative Arts had too provide something very different
Digital Creative Arts is a valuable read if you
want to get a good feel for
