New sensibility has attached itself to age. What is it that makes one feel like a great designer? – Graphic design, a thought-process, experience or wisdom? Get the influence and inspiration from your peers through shift e magazine. Power is shifting from the older generation to the younger. In a time when being young is ageless and

wisdom is selective, the 20-something age group of designers is in a different space from where it has ever been. Shift e magazine (art, business, and culture of design.) Plan to reach a target audience of young entrepreneur male and female designers, also photographer’s ages ranging from 18 to 30. Its competitors are print, I.D, How design and Communication arts.

The topics of fashion, photography, typography, fine arts, and graphic design as a business will sure to be a form of motivation for anyone interested in the design field. The magazine offers a

unique gateway for young creative me and women to explore an eclectic self-indulgence. The magazine seems pretty well split between the genders as it covers both male and female designers point of views. Shift has a youthful and fun look that reflects their audience and has sort of “abstract” feel to it. The design isn’t very complex; there isn’t much going on, mostly tabs, galleries and texts with consistent colors and large photos. Shift, with time will grow to be a extremely popular bimonthly graphic design e magazine about visual culture and design.
