Jon Blum Joins Graphic Simulations
Well, we knew our Art Director’s talents wouldn’t go unnoticed by a software company for long. After creating amazing covers and the custom art you see throughout IMG for the past 10 months, Jon Blum began working for Graphic Simulations Corporation (makers of Hellcats Over the Pacific and the recently released F/A-18 Hornet) this month. Although Jon is no longer a partner in IMG and will no longer be involved in writing reviews, he’ll be staying on as Art Director (Thank God!). We want to wish Jon the best and thank him for making IMG what it is today — the premiere Macintosh gaming magazine.
