I've fully scanned and archived this web design magazine from 2000 and put it up on the Internet Archive. You can go and experience the future of the web, 25 years ago!

Some juicy pictures:

Headline: "Brand New Media" Screenshots show graphics-heavy interactive websites aimed at youths. Headline: "Dynamic Flash" Background art shows cranes carrying Flash and Internet Explorer file icons in a cyberspace-like void. Headline: "71 Flash tips" Dense blocks of text with tips of reducing a Flash movie's file size. Full-spread magazine ad from Apple. Headline: "Take a tour of a major new movie studio." This ad guides the reader through all the digital video features of the Power Mac G4. Corny Y2K-futuristic graphics on a website Screenshots of all-Flash websites by an old web firm called Spooky and the Bandit Full-page ad from Netscape, showing a large Netscape logo and "JOY" in a Windows-style window. Full text: "Enjoy full access to the Internet with the people who made it accessible in the first place. Enjoy it for nothing but the price of a local phone call. Enjoy Netscape Online. 100% net. 100% free." Corny full-page art showing various file icons spewing from a hole in cyberspace.

Cover of Computer Arts Special 10: 100% Web Design. A semi-pixelated face peers out of a browser window floating in cyberspace. Main topic: "What is WAP? And why should you be excited about it?"
