Creative COW Magazine

Creative COW invites you to download the newest issue of Creative COW Magazine. The GAMES Issue is filled with great content and surprises, even for those of you that do not work in games production. You will find the issue is filled with inspiring tips and techniques, the kind of real world content that professional content creators and editors have come to expect from Creative COW Magazine. It's why the magazine has become the fastest growing and most important publication in the market. If you have missed it in the past, download a copy and see why people are saying things like:

"I have to admit that, when I first heard about the magazine, I was a little skeptical... 'What can a magazine offer that I can't find online?' But all you guys have done is create the single best magazine in our field. Period. Much, much congratulations!" -- Christian Glawe, editor/compositor

"I just wanted to tell you that your 'New Visions' edition is the best issue of any industry magazine I've read since the [Directors Guild of America] DGA stopped publishing Action." -- Jim Long, Pegasus Productions

And now we've built a new magazine site interface that is as serious as the magazine we make. In it, we have brought our readers and members the most fluid interface of any magazine site that we have seen online anywhere in the world. The interface is so logical and immediate, that you will likely not need any instructions on how to use it -- it is that intuitive. So swing by and have a look, you will find the new site online at:

Tim Wilson looks at the box office success of DreamWorks Animation's 'Monsters vs Aliens' and how Stereoscopic 3D is lighting up ticket sales in a huge way. Tim's article explores links to trailers, the first weekend's numbers -- hint: they were pretty spectacular, especially in the IMAX theaters where the 3D version proved especially popular -- and he even gives readers a sneak leak about the next issue of Creative COW Magazine.
