A prototype for digital magazines
As anticipation grows for a potentially kick butt Apple tablet, Bonnier has created a cool video featuring a prototype of what a digital mag could look like.They write in their blog:
The concept aims to capture the essence of magazine reading, which people have been enjoying for decades: an engaging and unique reading experience in which high-quality writing and stunning imagery build up immersive stories.
The concept uses the power of digital media to create a rich and meaningful experience, while maintaining the relaxed and curated features of printed magazines. It has been designed for a world in which interactivity, abundant information and unlimited options could be perceived as intrusive and overwhelming.
The purpose of publishing this concept video is first and foremost to spark a discussion around the digital reading experience in general, and digital reading platforms in particular. Thus, we would be more than happy to hear what you have to say regarding the concept and ideas expressed in the video: the magazine reading experience, digital browsing, text versus images, as well as hear about your own digital reading experiences and thoughts.
To contribute thoughts, find the best way to contact Bonnier over on the original blog post. A hat tip to the luminous Emily Chang for highlighting this gem.
