Summary: Not worth paying for
Comment: GD USA is a monthly magazine targeted at, and available free to, professionals within the graphic design community. It consists overwhelmingly of promotional material - advertising, company profiles, personal profiles, and so on. If you are not in the business, you will find little of interest here. If you ARE in the business, you can get the magazine free from their website.

Summary: Save Your Time
Comment: I agree with the others in that this magazine is too content-filled with the most irrelevant content! The copy is way heavy, but few true words of wisdom. It showcases VERY little work by other graphic designers so if you're looking to peruse the latest talent, definitely stick with CA or HOW.

Summary: No content, no sense of style
Comment: This magazine seems to exist solely to promote their advertisers and their products. Their articles focus heavily on their sponsors and the ads far outweigh what little content there is. When they do focus on the best work of the design community, their examples are puzzling. They choose work that is often genuinely awful, and you rarely see any of the work that wins awards in other publications and award shows (ComArts, ADC, Graphis, AIGA, One Club). While that would be admirable had they found other good work, most of the work they highlight is mediocre at best. There is a reason this magazine is free.
