As we’ve mentioned here previously, NewWebPick publishes a great and rather worthwhile electronic magazine.
Today they just released issue 14, which is well worth looking into, if you have not already. And for USD$1.95, it’s not really even worth debating giving it a go (though they do release a free ‘lite’ version, if that’s too much cash for you).

What is the sound of color?
We asked that question of 5 musicians. We assigned each musician a different color. They wrote 5 tracks. We gave the colors and tracks that inspired them to 5 directors.”

If you have not heard of it, NewWebPick.com is a website that has been running out of Hong Kong for some years now.
Originally it started as a site that used to highlight cool websites from around the globe each week. In the past year or so, they branched out to produce a series of downloadable Flash based magazines about graphics, arts and other creative areas, from professional to part timer. Thy sell this for a putsy USD$1.99 an issue. Value plus considering the content and each ish is around 2-300 pages!
Latley they have branched the concept out more to showcase artists and designers from various countries, and have just started a series that does the same for universities.
Check it out if you have not already, it’s well worth it.
