Well, TOG (ACM's Transactions on Graphics) is a formal research journal,
issued several times a year, and available by subscription from ACM.
SIGGRAPH is an ACM special interest group that you join; your membership
gets you the newsletter, Computer Graphics (which we are doing quite a lot
with, so it is beginning to contain some very good expository articles --
but then I'm hardly unbiased!) as well as the Proceedings of the annual
SIGGRAPH conference (45 research articles in 1992, and probably the best
single graphics publication in the world (again, I'm not unbiased).  Since
the journal and the conference proceedings are complementary, I'd strongly
suggest that anyone seriously interested in graphics should have both --
that is, should both subscribe to TOG *and* join SIGGRAPH.
