e-Magazine Round-Up

There are many design e-magazines popping up, also known as online magazines, paperless magazines, or digital magazines (I vote we drop the name game and call them simply: e-mags!) that I decided to pull together some of my favorites in one place. When it comes to e-mags, some say that they are the future of magazines but I don't believe that they will replace print but I think that they can easily live alongside our favorite glossies, don't you?

In today's fast-paced world, you really need both with so many of us online receiving and sharing information at the speed of light. Exclusive content is becoming more and more of a hot topic with the bevy of blogs out there and this is where e-mags can really deliver as they have the staff and sponsorship to run almost exactly like a print publication without most of the major financial stresses that have sadly forced some of our favorites to fold. Many bloggers are talking about their favorite e-mags lately so my goal is to give you a mini round-up of the ones that have blog authors a-buzz with hopes that you'll help by adding your comment to include those I've missed that make your heart go pitter-pat too! Here we go...

TIP: If you are considering to author an e-mag yourself, I've noticed a trend when you're out shopping for a domain name -- Add "mag" after your magazine name -- Lonnymag, antlermag, sweetpaulmag and so on... It's a good thing!

I'm heading to London now so while I'm traveling these links will provide you with plenty of inspiration to last until Monday when you can stop by decor8 for a few guests posts (I'll drop in to say hello as well) to hold you over until I'm back in full gear on May 21st.

Out of those listed above, what do you read and why? Do you like digital magazines better than print, if so why? If not, why? Did I miss an e-mags that you read? If so, please post the name and link in the comments section below - all I ask is that you list only those about decorating, design, art, craft, kid's, food, wedding, fashion...
