Just when I had gotten over the loss of Design In-Flight, the magazine relaunches as a web-only publication. From the history/about page:
With the reduction in production efforts with this format, and a slightly less rigid publishing schedule, DiF is sure not to disappear again.
I certainly hope so. Welcome back!
Sad news, friends… Design In-Flight is closing shop. This very young, yet stellar PDF-based magazine was off to a fantastic start, but, as Andy put it, changes in his personal and professional life have conspired to make DiF’s continued publication an impossibility.
Though I am disappointed at losing such a great publication, I understand where Andy’s coming from. Having spent six years of my life devoted to a magazine I started in college, I know how tough it can be. I put the fritz on hiatus in the summer of 2000 when I moved to Connecticut, hoping to restart it again as a solely web-based publication, but time has conspired to keep it only a homepage. Will I ever find the time to get it going again or is it only wishful thinking? I’m not sure. I guess time will tell.
Andy, best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
