Jury Motivation

PDF to flash publishing that doesn’t suck.

Meet  Tommy and the rest of the SIME jury here

Issuu, almost like the Scribd of the North (a little bit more niched if one could say), and a tad bit cooler with it’s extremely slick interface is a pretty decent place to find some interesting content that you cannot imagine finding elsewhere. With a newsstand that has infinite space (as said by TIME), hundreds of interesting micro-publishing projects and a slick online reader make the perfect match. Spending time browsing through the titles that are archived on the site comes so close to the feel of the actual thing that you might forget you’re in a magazine matrix.

Good luck Issuu.
