Hope you all had a great weekend and not suffering from Monday morning blues!Just a quick reminder that issue 37 goes on sale this week (3rd July) and it’s fabulously jam-packed as ever!7.jpgThis issue we show you how to recreate the beautiful work of American painter Edward Hopper. His gorgeous sunny scenes are sure to give you that summer feeling. Let’s hope it lasts!  

If you haven’t noticed already, the lovely tech people have uploaded a reader survey for you to fill in at your leisure. The purpose of this is to get to know you guys better so we can tailor the mag more specifically to your wants and needs. Reader input contributes to so much of the mag, so trust us when we say your thoughts and comments are noted. There’s nothing too testing in there, just a few multiple choice questions about what you like and dislike. So when you’ve got a sec, click on the link at the top of the page and make our day. It’s completely confidential too, so you can be brutally honest without fear that we’ll be after you! (Like we’d do that). On another note, just thought I’d let you know we’re busy beavering away on the latest Photoshop Creative Collection bookazine Volume 4. The first three Volumes have all sold out so keep your eyes peeled for more info on this one. In the meantime, check out www.imagineshop.co.uk to get hold of magazines and eMags.  

Congratulations everyone - we've reached our 5000th image on the gallery. Woooo hoooo!Have you guys seen the photo books produced by Blurb yet? We got a chance to have a nose through some of their book products the other day and can tell you, these guys blow anyone else out of the water. You can create a Blurb book on any topic in any way you wish, with no restrictions to templates or styles. Simply use their software to compile your book and tick the box to order. They even help you market and sell your books too, which is awesome for the aspiring photographer or artist. They also make pretty swanky portfolios as opposed to a dodgy old plastic folder.Right now, Blurb are hosting a great compo in which you could get your hands on $25,000 to fund your next artistic project. All you need to do is submit you photo book by 14th July. For more info head to www.photographybooknow.com
