Farewell Amelia’s
Andrew has an excellent, if sad, interview with publisher-editor-art director Amelia of Amelia’s Magazine in which they discuss her recent decision to cease publication of the magazine.
Amelia’s always impressed me with its single-minded pursuit of a particular aesthetic and the way Amelia (the person) wanted to prove that magazines could be more than the usual newsstand fodder. ‘In a sea of mediocrity I wanted to stand out’, is how she describes what she set out to do four years and ten issues ago. The magazine celebrated print with die-cuts, scratch n sniff, special papers and other effects long before others caught on.
The final issue is available now on pre-order.
