"Unpublished" Grafik last issue heralds the magazine's revival in 2011

Some months ago we reported on the lamentable closure of Grafik magazine. Since then there has been planned a revival of the high end graphic design title by its original editorial team, but under new ownership. Well now the "unpublished" last issue of Grafik (ready to go in June 2010 when the abrupt closure was announced) has been posted online as a pdf and it is the precursor to a relaunched print magazine and website in the new year.

Grafik, the UK graphic design magazine, ceases publishing

Grafik, the magazine for graphic design out of the UK, has stopped publishing. A brief note from the editorial team says that the publishers, Adventures in Publishing, have decided to liquidate the company and with it the high-end title. So hold onto your back issues.

Graphic design industry surveys industry about salaries and billing practices

The Association of Registered Graphic Designers of Ontario (RGD)– in association with the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada, the Société des designers graphiques du Québec and various industry sponsors – is currently conducting a national survey of graphic design salaries and billing practices, according to a story in Design Edge Canada magazine.

The Association is asking art directors, graphic designers, educators, production managers, web developers and project managers to complete its online salary survey, which closes June 22.

(The information that comes from this survey may provide an interesting counterpoint or reality check for the important salary survey information for art directors and designers that Masthead magazine gathers for the magazine industry.)
