No offense to the new design contributers, but I like the old design. Of course, I’ve been a subscriber to French Photo since 1991 and the original design is closer to French Photo.
My real concern would be the content anyway. My preference for French Photo over American Photo is that the former concentrates on the creative side, compositions, inspirations, but American Photo was way heavy on the tech side. Frankly, I can RTFM, so I don’t need a magazine to go over them. Again, no offense to those that get a great deal out of the tech articles.
