Advances in digital printing technology were utilised to print customised copies with over 500 different covers for the first issue.
2000s – Creative Camera/DPICT Archive
Issue 362, the last published under the Creative Camera masthead, was a ‘Source Book’ listing photographic resources and institutions world-wide. It also introduced the magazine’s successor, DPICT.
From April/May 2000, the magazine changed its name to DPICT. The design, layout and typography of DPICT make it very difficult to render with OCR software. Although every attempt has been made to enable useful searchable content, there will be omissions.

Through the Ages
Over time, I have collected every issue of Creative Camera ever published. As far as I am aware, it is only one of a handful of complete sets in the world.
I thought it would be interesting to assemble a mosaic of all the covers, from May 1967 (when it was still Camera Owner) until May 2001 (when it had morphed into DPICT).
