''Communication Arts'' is the largest international trade journal of visual communications.〔(Audit Bureau of Circulations ) Publisher’s Statement 12/07〕 Founded in 1959 by Richard Coyne and Robert Blanchard, the magazine’s coverage includes graphic design, advertising, photography, illustration and interactive media. The magazine continues to be edited and published under the guidance of Coyne’s wife Jean and their son Patrick Coyne. Currently, ''Communication Arts'' (CA) publishes six issues a year and hosts six creative competitions in graphic design, advertising, photography, illustration, typography and interactive media and two Web sites, commarts.com and creativehotlist.com ==History== The first issue debuted in August 1959 as the ''Journal of Commercial Art''.〔''The Journal of Commercial Art'', Vol. 1, #1, August, 1959, Palo Alto, California〕 Among a number of innovations, it was the first U.S. magazine printed by offset lithography.〔“Yesterday in CA”, ''Communication Arts'', Vol. 31, #2〕 Within six months, paid circulation grew to 10,000. Paid advertising, however, was low and CA was not a financial success. After Blanchard left to go into business by himself, Coyne and a small staff continued to write, design, and produce the magazine. Eventually, paid circulation increased to 38,000.〔(SRDS ) Publisher’s Sworn Statement, June 30, 1979〕 CA’s current audited paid circulation is 63,043〔 and an average of 3.1 people see each issue, giving Communication Arts an estimated reach of 189,129 readers.〔(http://www.commarts.com/download/mediaInfo.pdf )〕 ==Competitions== To generate additional income and editorial content, the magazine began an annual juried competition in 1960. Within a few years, the annual competition grew, and eventually segmented into four annual competitions: graphic design, advertising, photography and illustration. A fifth competition, interactive, was added in 1995. All the CA competitions are juried by creative professionals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Communication Arts (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
