BLOG GROUP TASK




Luke Hayman of design firm Pentagram was asked by AdWeek to present his picks for the best magazine covers of 2010.


Also been looking a lot at a critical paper by Liam Wakeman (http://liamwakeman.wordpress.com/)
He looks a lot at Issue new magazine design by Jeremy Leslie, and he looks into magazine interaction. 


- He looks at online interactive magazines that have been put into pdf form. 
'This is a gaming magazine that is only available in pdf form, it features trailers within the articles, this is one of the best designed pdf magazines that i have found, the ease of use is very simple just having to click an arrow to go to the next page and it is also possible to interact with features on the page such as link, sounds and video. It is also available on a Sony psp, Nintendo ds, iphone and iPod touch so it is designed to reach a large selection of its target audience.

    This is a different type of interaction altogether to what I have been looking at.
- A further example includes 'This is lovepicks which is a magazine made in flash amongst an interactive popup menu; you flick through it by clicking the corners of the pages. The magazine features designers and photographers work and is a nice way of showcasing skills. It also features sound and moving image. This is a different solution to pdf.
www.lovepics.it'

- He tends to look at online magazines in terms of interactivity, as opposed to what I personally view as 'interactive', however, in a way it is just the same only in digital format.
' This is thisisamagazine.com it is a flash based magazine of sorts that it is made up of moving image words, pictures and sounds. It also features pop ups and shows what can be done in terms of interactivity.'
