 And the walls came down Friday, 7th April 2006 

This week we’ve made the Atomic site a little friendlier to use for those of you who were entering a monthly Green Code. If you used to enter a monthly Green Code from the magazine you’ll no longer need to do this. Just jump straight in to the Green Room and Trademart without the hassle. Of course, all other parts of the Atomic site remain open access to all, keeping things uncomplicated, being the way we like things.

If you were a $20 annual Green Club member we’ll be sending you a complimentary copy of the latest issue of the magazine for every month you have left in your term.

For everyone else it’s all the same. Just get on and get amongst it.

A particularly cool thing to get amongst in the Atomic community are the photography competitions. There’s two running and both showcase the truly magnificent talent out there. Really, we look through the submitted comps and it blows us away. Of course, with the Artomic magazine submissions we’re well used to seeing remarkable creative talent in the community.

Check out the action in the Graphics, Art and Design forums – there’s the Shutterbug Comp – which is a regular and themed monthly competition, and The Atomic Camera Club – which is also a themed comp, but more about helping people improve their skills. Both are stickied at the top of that forum.

If you’re a photography pro, or an interested noob, the Atomic community is the place to be.
