I always loved the design of DUMMY magazine. It was a free publication wasn’t it? If not, then I was lucky as I picked it up somewhere for free. I really want to get my hands on the missing copies. If you look at their myspace, the headline reads ‘back very very soon’- hmmm.

It was free after the first few issues, they then tried to go digital and were one of the first magazines that you could download and subscribe to via iTunes. The last issue says Autumn 2007 and their blog hasn’t been updated since August. Can any Dummy people give us an update?

Hey, just discovered your blog today when searching for Distill Magazine on YouTube. Totally loving your posts, and this video tour of various magazines. Bookmarked. ;-)

I spent 6 months working on the design of issue zero of Dummy with art director craig tilford. I just designed the 1st issue. Then we moved on… Nice to see a later edition. Then I spent a year designing m magazine. I have posted some pages of both mags on Flickr…
