I wasn’t lucky with the IdN magazine giveaway. I am new to the designing world and here in India such types of magazines are not available (or hardly available). So, it would be great to help out a newbie like me so that I can learn various aspects of art and designing.
SP October 6, 2009
Would love to get this one on my hands. As ^said we don’t get these magazines here. But anyway i love designing and i wont give up on what i love. hope i get lucky this time.

Sandra October 7, 2009
I am a magazine FANATIC, fresh Art Director graduate and I’ve been looking for a way to get my hands on a hard copy of File Magazine for a Very Long Time now and all i could grace my imagination with is the virtual version! None of the Publishers in my country import it and it’s a shame.
Me winning this prize will only increase my obsession with FILE Magazine, visual art, and anything related to them!

Im a magaphile/ I hoard beautiful, inspirational pieces of information. Every issue is different and has something to offer, both graffic and digital. And the idea of gathering this issue would only further my obsession and advance my collection:)
Darius October 7, 2009
Hi there,
I’m back from my holiday, my mind is clear and I’m hungry for a fresh inspiration… from FILE mag:)
It’s always handy to have something substantial on my desk when working on my daily art direction and design projects.
Cheers!

MOTOROD October 7, 2009
I’m a chronic visual stimuli junkie and I need a fix. I hit all the various image file & design sites on the ‘net, go see the big 3-D animation & CG flicks, read a whole lot of design, fashion & biker mags, but it’s JUST NOT ENOUGH. I want MORE.
Pick me!
MOTOROD October 7, 2009
Bridget Bardot? Seriously, I need this.
Jan Krogh October 7, 2009
an excellent opportunity to be inspired, develop and refine the work I do, and also cus i really want it… give it :-)
Marci October 7, 2009

DannyBoy October 7, 2009
Because I’ve never won anything cool before!
Nick October 7, 2009
Because new art keeps me sane in my cubicle, you don’t want a random art spree on your hands.
Richard October 9, 2009
I’m a poor art student.
Flor October 10, 2009
I’m always looking for inspiration esp through the web and magazine articles. The problem is, a laptop isn’t always practical, and every once in a while, a person has to step away from the computer and pick up something to read. This is where a magazine like FILE would come in handy.
Already a follower of @inspiredmag. I will add @FILE_Magazine

to deserve this would be an overstatement. to desire this with all of my heart would be an understatement.
