We all love our Computer Arts Magazine, Advanced Photoshop and Digit Magazine, but the sad reality is that, for some, it can be too expensive, and the only time some can get their hands on them is when they drop by their local newsagent. The internet may be full of great tutorials and articles covering nearly everything, but sometimes we just need the sequential page turn fun that a good old fashioned magazine provides.

Luckily we can find some good alternatives on the net, and while some may not contain the amount of articles, tutorials and content as commercial releases, they are great reads and overall great efforts from the teams that work hard on each issue.
