DT&G - September 2002
Vol. 10, #9, Web Delivery ONLY
Note that last month we published DT&G as a PDF only. It was the lowest traffic month in the history of the Design Center which indicates people are more interested in web content than the PDF... ain't that a bitch -- after nearly 12 years of monthly issues?

NOT that we're doing away with DT&G! September is being combined with October for a huge MEGA issue to kick off our FALL FONTS FESTIVAL, and to kick off the holiday season. It will be posted in just a few days.
