Shiny/Broke Magazine

Publishing
London, United Kingdom
FUNDED

Shiny/Broke is a magazine which eulogises the old, and celebrates the new. We report on innovation and decline across all aspects of culture and current affairs; from news, art, science, politics and lifestyle. With humour, and an eye for news off the radar, we want to bring you a magazine that you'll want to keep; a certificate of promise, or of passing.

The magazine is the product of a group of trainee journalists in Goldsmiths College, and began life as a project on our MA course. But we're proud of the work we've produced, and want to share it with the world.

This is where we need your help. We'd like to produce a limited run of the magazine, to distribute for free. 100% of pledges go towards printing as many copies as we can, with the first 50 pledges over £7 receiving a collector's copy delivered directly to their door.

We've also been running a weekly prize draw which you are automatically entered into for a pledge of £3, and in our next draw we'll give away two tickets for notorious Canadian electronic music festival Mutek, which takes place in Bristol in September 2011. 

To have a look at what we're all about, visit our blog, or follow us on twitter (@shinybroke). Any help you can offer us is really, really appreciated, and in return, we hope that we can offer you a magazine that'll you'll be torn between treasuring like a keepsake, and showing off to your friends.

We're still relatively new at this, but with your help, we hope we're not through just yet.

£3 - Weekly prize draws

£3.00 or more : A pledge of £3 will get you automatic entry into our weekly prize draw. The next prize we'll be giving away will be two tickets for notorious Canadian electronic music festival Mutek, which takes place in Bristol in September 2011. (http://www.mutek.org/). We have so far given away the following: Owen Richards Photography prints to Ben Romberg, one double ticket for the Resident Advisor X anniversary party at Cable, London, to Matt Andrews, art books and zines from the Museums Press catalogue to Ashley Wilkinson and tickets for Fabric in London to Tom Rogers. Pledge to get involved and you might win something, too!

 

£7 - Collector's copy of Shiny/Broke and entry into prize draw

£7.00 or more : A pledge of £7 or higher will get you entry into the prize draws as well, but also a copy of the magazine delivered directly to your door. There are only 50 of these specially stamped copies available, and could make a wonderfully quirky gift for collectors of magazines and peridoicals. Especially as it'll come with a love note from us, declaring our undying gratitude.

 

£10 - Name printed as patron of magazine, copy of Shiny/Broke delivered to your door, and entry into prize draws

£10.00 or more : A pledge of £10 will ensure your place in the Shiny/Broke pantheon of lovely people who helped make all this possible. We will print your name as one of our kind and beautiful patrons, as well as delivering a copy of the magazine directly to your door. It doesn't have to be your name, of course. Maybe it could be a gift for a magazine obsessed loved one, sealed with a kiss or whatever you may feel is appropriate. You'll also be entered in our prize draws and... OH! Don't forget our undying gratitude and devotion. All. Yours.
