We've launched a new digital subscription to CR which means that you can now access all the magazine content, going all the way back to 2006, at a much-reduced price, anywhere in the world
If you only read the blog posts here at creativereview.co.uk, you are missing out on an enormous amount of content. Each month we also post up the stories, features and reviews from each issue of the magazine online (check out this month's issue here), but this, as well as some CRTV and Feed content, is restricted to subscribers only. Now you can access all that content via our new digital subscription.
It's aimed primarily at overseas readers, who make up two thirds of our online audience. Shipping physical magazines around the world has always been a problem - they can arrive late and sometimes in bad condition. And it's costly.
So we are now making the content of each magazine available through the website to anyone, anywhere in the world for a special offer price of £40 a year. This is a 60% saving on the cost of a rest of the world print subscription, and half the price of a one-year US or European sub. You'll have to hurry though, because this offer applies for a limited period only.
For £40 a year, you get access to all the content of each current issue of the magazine. The magazine pieces online frequently have additional content not found in the printed version, including extra images and, of course, video. And you will get to see all the content selected for our Annual, Illustration Annual and Photography Annnual, which will not be available on the blog.
Digital subscribers also get full access to the archive of every issue going back to July 2006. Many of these issues are now sold out and so their contents is unavailable elsewhere.
You also get access to all the online issues of Monograph. And you will also qualify for discounts in the CR Shop and on extras such as awards entries.

Impressive. I just clicked on the 'To subscribe, please click here' link and got the message: Safari can’t open the page “http://subscription/subscribe-to-cr” because Safari can’t find the server “subscription”.
Hmmm. I just wanted to know how much it was really. You could have made it easier through, but just stating this on this page.

Any chance of making your subscription form secure?

I tried to subscribe (on an unsecured form, no less) but when hit the button the page just reloaded with no error or feedback...assuming it didn't go through but not very reassuring. I think ya'll need me to help with user experience design.

Hello, everyone. Just wanted to re-assure you that the actual payment process is secure.
We know the initial form isn't at the moment and are working on that right now.@D Glaze - I've tweeted you. Could you let me know the exact problem you had and I'll investigate.Print subscribers please note, if you aren't registered with the site, you need to do so here: http://creativereview.co.uk/log-in/join You should have your Subscription ID (the number on the packaging of your copy) to hand in order to access the secure content. If you can't find this number please email customer.services@centaur.co.uk with your name and contact details.

Do i get the digital magazine as a pdf? or is access to subscribers site? or do i have to use a third party reader of some form?

@Chris
No PDFs or digital readers - all the content is posted up here on the website with relevant images, text, video etc. The images above show what the magazine content looks like here on the website PatrickBurgoyne

From Southeast Asia,
I couldn't subscribe to digital version. After filled in all payment info and clicked proceed, the new page that shown up kept saying "oh dear, error..."

Good idea to offer the majority of your back issues in digital format although II don't see why you can't allow people to download as pdf though (not even a locked pdf?). I thought this would have enticed far more people to subscribe. I suppose its down to legal/sales reasons?

@ R Brill
We used to offer the entire issue as a PDF on subscription but very few people saw value in it. Web pages offer much more - the ability to add extra content to stories that appear in print, such as more images, video, commenting, sharing etc PatrickBurgoyne
