20 Creative and Inspiring Free Design Magazines
Over the years, PDF Magazines have become extremely popular. Unlike websites, these PDF design magazines aren’t constrained by browsers, coding, 72DPI, or even being online. Many communities have been built around these magazines, with many of them being created on user submissions. Take a look at some of the best PDF mags that the internet has to offer.

“The Bible of Inspiration”: Beast was one of the first online PDF submission Magazines ever created. Put together by Thomas Schostok {THS} back in 2001, it’s still considered one of the greatest PDF art/design collections to date.
Beast is a free “magazine”. It WAS published, every month, (for one year long, 12 Issues) as a PDF file. No HTML, no Flash, no content, no sponsors, no banner, no ads. Main focus is on design, typography, art, illustration, photography, mind & matter and all kinds of creative exhausts.

First of all, I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration, the tutorials and articles! I found your site through Smashing Magazine and I absolutely love it. I will visit often from now on.
Also, I just wanted to correct the above link for Iniciativa Colectiva.
I have just redesigned the site to give it a magazine look and blog feel (as it will be much easier to update this way) and it is looking good!
Take a look and let me know what you think:

Your thoughts are welcomed
I should also add that issuu.com is a great tool for anyone who currently, or is thinking of running an online magazine.
What do you guys think of wired magazine and the like going to ipad? I initially thought it was to help sales as the hard copy magazine is dying, but their ipad subscriptions are also falling! Maybe the price?
