The other magazine in the shortlist is video game focused A Profound Waste of Time (APWoT) issue 2. APWoT is an “award winning independent magazine that celebrates games as an art form,” the site notes. “Each issue plays host to a rich variety of voices from inside and outside the videogame industry, interwoven with stunning bespoke imagery from leading illustrators and artists. Editorially discerning and beautifully designed, the magazine serves to celebrate gaming culture and discussion.” Issue two is a 200 page “tribute to the art of making videogames,” they note. It includes two covers – a standard version and a ‘special rainbow edition’, both equally extend the idea of how we perceive and consume video games – resulting in a considered, well-designed publication. The special edition is noted as a limited edition illustrated by Doug John Miller. Both editions can be purchased here.
