Ever wondered why I chose a magazine, an not a blog, as format for GizMag? To be honest, me too.

But there is a very simple and short explanation. A few years ago, I did a thesis on DVD-magazines. Back then, I described a magazine as bundled articles reflecting a certain opinion, or a publication that gives you background information on a definite topic. A magazine is also published periodically. And to me, a blog is more like a daily rambling of thoughts. So there you go. To list some weekly neat stuff, I thought it would be cooler to put this in a magazine.

And also. I ♥ magazines. :)

- In these series of GizMag Explained I will try to answer some questions I got in the past about the magazine.

It’s only have been a few days, and the 3rd PDF has already been downloaded almost 500 times! Both the 1st and 2nd PDF have been downloaded over 4000 times now, so I think we are on the right track. :)

Also I read some nice things about the new PDF magazine. Check out the featured artist’s blog of Camilla d’Errico, Leontine Greenberg, Veuch, and Stick-A-Thing. Thanks for blogging about it guys! Much appreciated.
And of course, also thanks for all other cool people blogging about GizMag!

Oh. Don’t forget to take a look at the latest web issue #38. It’s stuffed with deviantART profiles.

Update. Thanks to Designer In Action, we are now way passed the 500 downloads. Thanks! And remember, I love to hear all your thoughts about the magazine. Leave them on this blog, send them by email, or invite me for a drink… :P
