For my first brief I’ve being assigned the task along with 4 others to research and create a new interactive magazine primarily for the iPad. Initially I was introduced to software I previously learn with the addition of new features and techniques I didn’t know existed.
After being given an iPad with multiple examples on such as:
CBeebies Empire WIRED
From the apps I looked at as examples WIRED was by far the most advance and dramatically interactive with multiple flip out menus and extended paged which are optimised and run smoothely unlike others.
And was told to analyse them, focusing on the visual elements which engaged and let the audience interact rather than the simple process of turning a single page. Although, these features are new to the magazine world it seems like they’re the way forward. Not only does it mean audiences get to interact with the articles but they can learn more in a smaller area.
Our task now is to collaborate with the team to create our own magazine which will then be tested on iPad for functionality and interactivity. With our research done out of class we came up with the idea to create a student cook book styled concept.
