FAKE Magazine needs YOU!

A little about FAKE... FAKE is an independent quarterly fashion and arts printed magazine. We feature: Innovative fashion | Beautiful prints and illustrations | Insightful photography | Exclusively commissioned artworks | Interesting articles | Independent venues and businesses | Emerging talent | Creative projects | Much more... The principle of FAKE is to give a step up for creatives and a platform to showcase their work. We commission artists and illustrators; each issue features print exclusive artworks. We offer an opportunity for the contributors to challenge themselves creatively, resulting in a fresh portfolio piece. Our contributors work on a promotional basis; as well as promoting them through the medium of FAKE, we offer our continued support to each contributor, promoting via our blog and putting them forward for any relevant projects, work or anything else that may help them in their career and raising their profile. How much do you need? and why? Our main challenge has been finding sponsorship/funding. For a number of reasons we have been ineligible for funding and with many arts organisations having been shut down,we have unfortunately come to a dead end! The cost of the publication covers printing, all sales go back into the next issue's print run. With the boost from this Crowdfunder we would have the security of the next print run being larger, allowing us wider distribution which in turn will support the future expansion of FAKE. We set up the Crowdfunder with the intention for it to partly fund the print run of Issue Two, as Issue Two was released September 1st, we have now passed that milestone, thanks to a little advertising and a lot of hard work! The £400 will now be put towards Issue Three. Your investment and commitment to the magazine will give us a guaranteed income so we are able to continue promoting those in the creative industries who truly deserve it. FAKE will have some much needed security and a leg-up in surviving in the tough print industry. Support the future of FAKE and help us support up-and-coming creative talent; there are lots of goodies in return for donations! thatfakemagazine.com thatfakemagazineblog.tumblr.com [email protected] @FAKEupdate 07517 933 497
