Bruce Hudson, Digital Magazine Awards' Chairman commented: “This year’s finalists show digital magazine publishing has come of age with absolutely brilliant, innovative content across multiple platforms. I honestly didn’t believe the sector could move on as dramatically as last year but without question there has been a seismic move forward. I’m absolutely blown away by the magazines on show and can’t wait to see who takes the honours on the 6th December.”
Quark's Vice President of Marketing Gavin Drake said: “The design and delivery of digital magazines is at the top of every publisher’s mind, as is showcased by the massive interest in the Digital Magazine Awards. We are delighted to support the awards with the App Studio brand as our focus is to provide digital publishing options for all content creators across design tools, including QuarkXPress and InDesign. Congratulations to this year’s nominees and we’re looking forward to the winners’ showcase.”
