Alt text: A two-page Select magazine spread from the 1990s focused on the internet. The left page, titled “CV Internet @” and edited by Eddy Lawrence, features a column of website reviews and commentary, including “Web or Without You: Hear U2 in glorious bog audio,” alongside quirky site listings such as “Fortune Balls from Outer Space,” “Heartless Bitches International,” “Shaolin Temple,” and “Monkey House.” Small graphics, screenshots, and playful illustrations accompany the text. The right page is a bold advertisement for “Select Connect,” promoting the magazine’s online presence. The design features a large photo of Keith Flint from The Prodigy screaming into the camera, surrounded by neon green and red graphics, with a stack of Select covers in the background. Text in bright fonts promises “Live on the Internet” with instant access to reviews, news, and chat rooms, along with a free trial pack and hotline number.
