LOB 17th October 2001, 01:54 PM I don't think so tried to find one before without success it may be under the publishers web site Paul Clerkin 18th October 2001, 09:44 AM Saw it for the first time in Easons recently... so picked one up just to get a subscription form.... no website listed inside. RSJ 19th October 2001, 08:57 PM No they don't - the Blueprint publishers, called ETP, have a small stable of design mags including FX but don't seem to have embraced web publishing in the way that, say, EMAP has done with the Architects' Journal, New Civil Engineer etc. Personally, I like a magazine or newspaper's website to be an updated version of the publication itself, with much of the same feel. I'm not so keen on those portmanteau sites where a number of publications are essentially slammed together and the personality is lost. An example of the latter is Mad.co.uk, which includes Design Week, Creative Review etc but is somehow a character-free zone. Emap does better: there's some overlap, but the very different personalities of their publications are allowed to come through. An example is the AJ at www.ajplus.co.uk. (http://www.ajplus.co.uk.)
