emigre, emigre

so i am sitting here in the library going thru the last 3 issues of "emigre". emigre is, well, was a graphic design magazine published in berkeley in conjunction with the princeton architectural press, it was published for 21 years until 2005, it used to have very different formats, so the issues were not identically in size. what is interesting for me is that it totally lacks text, at least issue 64, 66 and issue # 69, aptly called "the end". in this last issue the publisher Rudy Vanderlans desribes how he started the magazine, what a learningcurve it was and, basically, how he made it happen. anyways, because i was criticized in my presentation for havng no images in the prototype for : on animation and architecture" i was looking for magazines that totally lack image and are about visual stuff, in this case graphic design. i am trying to get hold of " perspecta" too, i think it lacks images, too. of course, in the case of emigre maybe the lack of pretty pictures was its downfall, and i am not quite sure if it had images in the beginning. i guess it is all about who the targetaudience is.
