For over 25 years, Computer Arts magazine was a key source of inspiration in the global design world. Known for showcasing top talent in graphic design, illustration, and animation, Computer Arts became a trusted resource with its monthly features, interviews, and how-to guides. The magazine supported and inspired designers, both seasoned and new, with fresh ideas and perspectives.

When Computer Arts closed in 2020, it left a big gap in the creative community. For many, flipping through the latest issue was a reliable way to reignite creative energy. The magazine was more than just pages; it was a go-to source for creativity and inspiration.

One of the magazine’s standout features was a monthly column by SNASK. SNASK’s brief was simple: make it pink. Every month, SNASK filled the last page with a mix of playful “pink lies,” humor and bits of rock’n’roll wisdom about life in the design world. The column quickly became a favorite for readers, who loved SNASK’s lively, sometimes surreal commentary. Readers would flip to the back of each issue, knowing they were in for a treat – a playful, often surreal message that both entertained and in its own peculiar way, inspired. SNASK turned this regular spot into a mini-canvas, pouring their personality into every installment and solidifying their reputation as provocateurs in the design world. For years, they used this platform not only to entertain but also to express a philosophy of embracing life with energy, humor and creativity – a message that resonated deeply with the magazine’s audience.

Computer Arts may have closed its doors, but its impact continues to be felt by designers, creatives and fans who were touched by its pages. The SNASK column, with its blend of humor and rock’n’roll wisdom, remains an emblem of the magazine’s bold, adventurous legacy.
