- Marmalade Magazine
-
Marmalade Magazine is a British publication covering the creative industries, media, style, fashion and contemporary culture. It was founded in late 2002 by journalist Kirsty Robinson and art director Sacha Spencer-Trace. The magazine has been on maternity leave since July 2007 and will re-launch in 2009.
Its contributors ranged from established artists, photographers and writers to new and unknown talent, many of whom were still studying.
In May 2006, it was awarded a prestigious D&AD award for art direction in the Newspaper and Magazines field, a prize not awarded since the 1970s when it was given to Nova magazine. The 'cut and paste' aesthetic has influenced design since.
On December 18, 2006, it was reported in The Guardian newspaper that Marmalade Magazine and MySpace.com were working together to create the first magazine made entirely from MySpace user-generated content. Jamie Kantrowitz, Senior Vice-President of Marketing and Content, MySpace Europe, was quoted in The Guardian as saying, "MySpace is the ultimate democratic medium where anyone with talent can showcase their work. Through our partnership with Marmalade we hope to translate this DIY quality into print, and hand the reins over to undiscovered creatives with fresh ideas."[1]
