Current Issue

We at Applied Arts pride ourselves on being the industry's lookbook, and our upcoming Winter 2021: Advertising & Student Awards Annual is no exception. Across our lushly printed pages, the creative industry's stakeholders and rising stars collide. The brightest lights of today and tomorrow shine together and show that the creative industry can weather the hardest hardships, because at its core is excellent work. Moreover, the Winter 2021 issue explores the future of education from the rise of private art and design schools to bringing in new courses to adapt to understanding today's key issues related to ethics, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

"In a year where it was the most difficult to make stuff, we made great stuff."
Alexis Bronstorph, Co-Chief Creative Officer, TAXI, Toronto, ON, 2021 Advertising Awards Judge

If you are not a subscriber, pick up a copy of the Winter issue at select newsstands, or have it delivered. We are confident you will return to these pages again and again, to find inspiration, to fuel your own projects—which may just grace these pages next year—or to simply bask in the ingenuity and artistry on display. Work this good is worth revisiting.
