SkinnyFish to launch western design title

SkinnyFish Media of Calgary (the merger of SkinnyFish Design and the former Calgary Media Group, is launching controlled circulation title called Elemente, according to a story in mastheadonline (sub req'd). Some 20,000 copies of the bimonthly design/architecture publication will drop out of the Globe and Mail and be distributed regionally through Chapters/Indigo.

“Influenced by some of the world’s renowned architecture and design-driven publications, Elemente provides a unique regional platform that focuses on current architectural highlights, key players, products, designs and emerging trends,” reads the media kit. (Full-page, one-time, four-colour ad is $3,275.)

SkinnyFish also publishes Alberta Oil and is saying it will produce a Chinese-language magazine aimed at the Chinese market (and partnering with a Chinese publisher) called Canadian Oil next spring.

You gotta hand it to anonymous for not making the obvious Calgary/Design/oxymoron joke.

Anyhoo... it will be interesting to see if "elemente" carries on its sister magazine's legacy of placing sponsor logos on the cover.

Speaking of which, the new issue of LouLou has an advertisement for a retail partner on its front cover.
