Shift Magazine

Shift magazine was out there for its time and for its vision. No other magazine from the late 80's through to the 90's gave artists, writers and designers a common ground to interact and to voice their opinions.

It was the boom of desktop publishing, the techno revolution of the time, centered in San Francisco's SOMA neighborhood. Finally, anyone with a Macintosh computer, could make a publication. Shift used Emigre fonts, great composition and lots of guts.

My favorites are issues 10 to 15, number 10 is truly amazing, or Bush senior flying with laser eyes for a bilingual issue! It was really on the front lines. Anne's concept at that time was truly avant-garde, especially seen through a contemporary view.
