Wired Magazine Goes iPad
The iPad revolution is beginning. Wired Magazine has released it's first edition for Apple's iPad just in time for the International iPad launch of May 28th.
Chris Anderson, editor in chief, said, "The arrival of the tablet represents a grand experiment in the future of media.
"The tablet is our opportunity to make the Wired we always dreamed of. It has all the visual impact of paper, enhanced by interactive elements like video and animated infographics."
He went on to say, "We can take you inside Trent Reznor’s recording studio and let you listen to snippets of his work in progress. And we can show you exactly how Pixar crafted each frame of its new movie, Toy Story 3."
The cost will be $4.99 USD per issue with subscription options to come.
FEATURES
Innovative features of the Wired App include:
- Every page in the issue is individually designed for optimal viewing on the iPad screen in both portrait or landscape orientation.
- Navigations from the cover, which allows readers to touch cover lines to go directly to stories giving direct access to editorial content.
- Content organized in vertical stacks rather than magazine-like spreads.
- Design cues throughout to lead reader through the issue, augmenting the scroll bar with subtle indications of more content and additional features to explore.
- Drop down Table of Contents (TOC) and Browse view (zoomed out view of stacks of content) make for easy navigation and sense of place within the issue.
- Orientation-appropriate photography offers different images taking advantage of layout changes whether in portrait or landscape mode.
- Animated 360° images show readers every side of Iron Man and let them explore the history of Mars landings.
