    I've been flipping through 10–20 year old issues of Juxtapoz and Creative Review to see if anything is worth saving before finally tossing them.

    What caught me were the ads in CR: phone numbers big and bold, web addresses small and tucked away. So many stock photo sites. Print bureaus were big, bragging about 24 hour turnaround, lots of courier imagery.

    The big refresh of CR was April 2011, but in my mind it was just a few years ago.

    Juxtapoz doesn't feel as dated, but a lot of the art/illustration had that Adbusters counterculture or intentionally sloppy/naïve/outsider vibe that doesn't seem to be a thing as much anymore.

    Can't bring myself to toss my IdN stack just yet.

    • I have a few issues of CR from various stages of their design. Graphic too. Consider keeping them to have a "history" of aesthetics from '90s-'20s

    • The only CR I kept was the one that sold out its front cover and had quotes from NT/QBN in.Nairn

    • lol, I just tossed a bunch of old Juxtapoz, CR, lookbooks, etc that I was hanging on to for possible collage work. It's just so dated.garbage
    • I've pared it down to a stack of Vice, vintage NatGeo, Monocle and Lapham's.garbage
    • May have to toss a few years of Monocle soon too.i_monk
    • @sted - I'll try and dig it out. It was black-faced with a single old-school price sticker stating what'd been spent on winning the auction-thing.Nairn
