Scientific American during this period was a great magazine with fantastic graphics. I used to really look forward to each issue. Sometime in the 90s they made a decision to make the magazine more “accessible” to the general public. The style of graphics became much more cartoony and the articles themselves somewhat more simplistic.

The early days (1996-2000) of the web Scientific American articles were fantastic for how they linked to source articles and explainers.

Unfortunately, these days it is close to rubbish.

The layout and graphic design of SciAm in that era was clean, crisp, austere and gorgeous. I’ll never forget the issue - 1985, I believe - with stereograms of DNA and RNA. 3D images, delivered in a magazine!
