iPad and the new magazine design
Posted in Reading, Thinking on January 30, 2010 | 2 Comments »
From Pentagram
Perhaps the “wordies” have missed the point. For them the iPad is a punt. The man at the lifeboat with the gun. For design, digital story telling and immersive structured non-linear activities the full aspirational user touch interaction may well be the game changer.
“Editors have been telling us for years that people won’t read long stories online. Yet they will read 1,000-page novels on their Kindles. What will they be willing to read on their iPad? I predict the return of long-form journalism. At the same time, visual storytelling will take deeper, richer forms. Information design will be more important than ever. Something like New York’s Approval Matrix that we designed back in 2005 with Adam Moss is popular in print but will really come to life in this format. Some people might subscribe to it all by itself.”
Did you notice no talk of apps just product? More importantly this is conceptual and should platform agnostic.
Features would be independent. More “zine” like than “magazine”.
Or it could be another smart new business pitch from Pentagram….
Soft served was part of the Hometown exhibition at the Halpert gallery in 2008. Hometown was my third solo show and my second solo show in New York within nine months. There is no denying the thrill of exhibiting in New York. However this exhibition happened during the Lehman Brothers meltdown and I remember how suddenly everyone disappeared from Chelsea. It was like a small neutron bomb was dropped on 10th Avenue ….
Exhibiting is an honor and a privilege, there is no guarantees that you get one or you will get another opportunity. It is sometimes hard to appreciate its specialness when you are in the middle of it.
