When Digital Marries Print: The Result, A Wonderful JPG
April 19, 2007
So can ink on paper and pixels on a screen live happily ever after. Well, here is an example of a publication that shows that when pixels on the screen marry the ink on paper, the result will be the creation of a community that interacts with each other and that have connectivity and usefulness second to none. To take from the words of its founders: There are magazines, and then there are magazines and then there’s JPG. And they couldn’t be more right. JPG took the mold of an industry model and completely smashed it, proving that technology is not the enemy to print as all the prophets of doom and gloom preach. Read my interview with founder Derek Powazek here.
Mr. Magazine 
I recently pointed out to Jeremy over at MagCulture that the The Fader magazine (a UK based Music and Lifestyle magazine) has made itself available through iTunes by utilising the option to download album sleeve artwork. So now you can buy the physical magazine, listen to the podcast or read it online for free as a PDF. iTunes doesn’t let you actually keep it though, you have to give it back afterwards. 🙂
