Celebrating the DIY spirit, Craft's goal is to unite, inspire, inform and entertain a growing community of highly imaginative people who are transforming traditional art and crafts. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great magazine, don't let one problem put you offA lot of the reviewers here have mentioned problems with one cover story. Don't let that put you off this mag. It and its sister mag MAKE are great. They show a different look at the craft industry than you get when you look in chains like Michaels and Hobby Lobby. Craft and diy are huge and it's not all about scrapbooking and decorative painting. There are heaps of indi crafters doing great things and who, until now, have been largely hidden from mainstream consumers. CRAFT gives these people a ... Read More: Rating:  - Not Enough Projects for the PriceI'm glad I checked this mag out at the bookstore before coughing up the dough for a subscription. I looked at the "Play!" themed issue. It is not as thick as you would expect for a $15 magazine, and there are still ads. I was disappointed by how many articles were just, "Hey, look at pictures of the cool stuff these people are doing, but we're not going to give you any information on how to do it yourself." There were also way too many "articles" that were just advertisements for artists' products. ... Read More: Rating: - you are smarter and more original and clever than this magazineThis magazine might have a couple good ideas and articles, but it's way too much about its own hipness as the vanguard of the supposedly new craft/DIY movement, with more self-congratulatory paeans to neo-crafty scenesterism than actual inspiration. The DIY movement is not new. Rather, it is, in what I think is the most telling sentence in the whole issue that I read, a "$30-billion dollar industry." Well, there's this mag's DIY ethos in a nutshell: it's ok to be a consumer as long as your wallet is ... Read More: Rating: - Neat Magazine, The cover liesThey don't give you the pattern for that robot, I have no idea why they would give coveted cover space to something they wouldn't tell you how to MAKE in a zine all about how to make things. I won't ever buy another copy. It has neat stuff in it, but on principle I just can't. Rating: - Silicon is your friendIt's a fine memory chip. Not once has it exploded, covered me with acid or radioactive goo, or allowed creepy ghostlike overlays of ancient tragedy onto pictures of my new house. Go wild, get one. |
