From 2013 - 2015 I was a contributing writer for Libre Graphics magazine. I believe it was the first print magazine to focus exclusively on graphic design using open source tools. What I really liked about it was that it focused on the wider conceptual, cultural, and political issues surrounding open source design, asking more "why open source" and not just "how do I use the software". In fact in its five year history I don't think I saw one tutorial except for one on how to draw a unicorn!
Libre Graphics magazine was published from 2010 - 2015 over eight issues. You can still read all of the issues online or order a print copy of many of them https://libregraphicsmag.com/
I contributed four articles during the second edition of the magazine. Writing has never been my strongest skill but I really enjoyed the challenge at such an early point in my career. This is issue 2.2, Gendering F/LOSS. Go read it!
btw to process these pdfs I first remove all of the raster images, otherwise the full page images would obscure everything else!
