LAID-OFF GRAPHIC ARTS JOURNALISTS LAUNCH
NEW CUTTING-EDGE TRADE TITLE
Laguna Niguel, CA -- (PRnetwire) -- July 17, 2001 -- The future of graphics publishing is now arriving in the mailboxes of designers, creative directors, photographers, Web developers, and print and media buyers nationwide. CrossMedia: From Print to Web to Wireless--is the first business publication to focus on all aspects of contemporary creative production and new workflow concepts for the create-once-publish-many model of graphic production.
"Creative professionals in the graphics industry work and live in confusing times where clients ask for print production one day and Web design the next," says Kenneth Spears, publisher of CrossMedia. "The mission of CrossMedia: From Print to Web to Wireless--is to help our readers cut through the confusion and complexity of new technologies, products, and techniques. CrossMedia, with its emphasis on the newest graphics technologies and tools is the indispensable guide for today's content creator."
Editorially, CrossMedia focuses on the creation, preparation and repurposing of text and images. Articles in the premiere issue (July/August 2001) include: a special report on cross-media publishing workflows, a how-to feature on image scanning, a buyer's guide for digital studio cameras, and a case study of wireless advertising production at AvantGo.
The September/October issue will include: a special report on PDF as a publishing technology for print, Web, and wireless applications; a round-up of online proofing solutions; a buyer's guide for large-format printers, and a case study of digital printing design.
The CrossMedia staff is a team of graphic arts journalism veterans from the long-running Los Angeles-based digital graphics magazine Micro Publishing News. When Cygnus Business Media decided to merge Micro Publishing News with another title in April 2001, the laid-off editorial, sales, and production team banded together to start its own magazine. "No longer being involved with Micro Publishing News, the staff faced an extreme challenge, how to reestablish themselves in the field of graphics publishing," says Spears. "We decided to create the next generation of graphics information magazine. CrossMedia is the result of our dedication to the graphics industry. It's a true labor of love."
CrossMedia is distributed nationwide to more than 50,000 graphics creatives who produce print, Web, and wireless content. Free subscriptions are available to qualified graphics professionals and content creators at www.crossmediamag.com.
