In my former office, there was a stack of old Emigre magazines. I spent countless hours paging through those back issues, and I can honestly say that most of what I know about design in the 90s–when technology was changing everything–I learned from Emigre.

The magazine ceased publication in 2005, ending a slow decline that began in 2001. Recently however, a selection of essays from some of the best issues were posted to the Emigre website, where the type foundry of the same name lives on. If you’re at all interested in 20th-century typography or graphic design, I suggest you take a look.
