Overall Impression

It's always nice to welcome a new origami magazine! This new bi-monthly publication is very well produced, all in glossy paper and full-color throughout, printed on square pages fitting the theme.

The focus of this magazine is diagrams, and there sure are plenty of them for a magazine, ranging in difficulty and subject-matter. There is also one crease-pattern challenge for complex folders. Besides diagrams, there is a "teacher's corner" with tips for teaching, and a photo-spread or origami events.

Subscribing to this magazine through creased.com provides you with both a printed issue and access to an online version of the magazine. There is also an option to include a special paper subscription, which will add special origami paper to each delivery.
