"Curve provides an insightful slice of the design industry in Australia, as well as features prominent articles of international appeal that are pertinent to readers around the globe. Icsid is proud to have Curve as an active participant of the International Design Media Network for its dedication and promotion of standards and ethics in design journalism."

"Curve has a good balance of local and international content. Our team thoroughly enjoy the read and appreciate Curve’s commitment to focus on content relevant to Industrial Designers."

"Curve magazine is a refreshingly independent voice in the world of
design journalism."
John Barratt, CEO & President, Teague – USA
 
"Curve is certainly one of the best design magazines available, given its highly pictorial content and relevant articles. At ResMed we find Curve is full of interesting articles and images that are useful inspiration for conceptualisation and ideation phases. It is also an excellent way for us to keep up to date with what is happening in the Australian design community.

Having Curve available online now means we can enjoy the subscription before the printed copy arrives. It also means I can share it simultaneously with a few key colleagues to enjoy the magazine immediately without having to wait for a loan of the printed copy. It also allows us to take some screen grabs of cool or inspiring products for our internal theme boards."
Mark Bertinetti, Senior Industrial Designer, ResMed Ltd, Australia
 
"Curve is one of the only design trade magazines that reflects on new trends and projects in this region. At Philips, we believe Curve offers quality articles for designers, and improves the knowledge of readers with insights and interesting articles in a clear layout."
Murray Camens, Vice President, Philips Design – Hong Kong
 
"I was surprised and thrilled to receive a copy of Curve yesterday containing the article on plastics the team here at Holden Design contributed to. Thank you for sending it; I was really impressed with the way it was presented.

Even before I received the magazine, I had a call from one of our plastic component suppliers who had read the article, and wanted to demonstrate their research on embedded electronics that we had mentioned. So you can see the story has already generated interest amongst the readership."
Thanks again and regards
John Field, Design Manager, Holden Design – Australia

"Curve shares Australian design with the world; and it brings a fresh international perspective. It's notable in the way it 'gets in the face' of design and designers, bringing insightful profiles on inspirational designers, on design change and thinking, and through comprehensive coverage of design events and awards. It forms a valuable part of my library."
