Cre@teOnline (Lost media(?))

[MediocreMetastasis]

So, I was looking at an old magazine for 3D CGI and I saw an ad for another magazine called Cre@teOnline.

The magazine covers alone imbue a GenX soft club/Y2K aesthetic and it's a magazine about web design and web design news from around 2002. All I could find when searching was a blog posts, an archive of one of their cds that are included with the magazine (the only useful thing is the screensavers), the archive of their website (which is a pretty good archive of old websites as they have a exhibition page), and a single page archived.

Anyone know where there's at least one magazine archived?

Doing a little searching around, it seems that the Computing History museum in the UK has several of them in their collection. Maybe they'd let you inquire about them for research purposes?

Here are the collections

Here's where they have their contact info

Interesting. I'll send an email to see if I can get access. I seems they only have up to the end of 2001 so 2002 (and possibly even later than that) is still nowhere to be found.

Replying to this thread to say they never got back to me . I'll have to look elsewhere I guess.

I was digging through the Internet Archive (because old computer magazines are cool and this sounded interesting) and they actually have the first issue archived!

If the other issues sound up your alley or you want to find more of the CDs, maybe try asking on The Lost Media Wiki or r/vintagecomputing. That's where my gut tells me to start.
