Having been discussing the potential delivery formats of the future for the newspaper and magazine industry on this blog a few days ago, I thought I’d follow it up with a quick link to a conceptual video made by design collective, BERG, on e-reader style magazines of the future.
Check it out for yourself over on Vimeo – the piece represents great work I think, particularly because of the emphasis on retaining some degree of physicality in the experience of accessing magazine content, which is something that the peeps over at BERG seem to have really thought about.
Indeed they go into issues such as the function of the magazine cover, and how this important feature works along lines which have little to do with content delivery (like the insides of the mag) but instead function as a sort of badge or emblem (and can often become iconic design images): a feature which should not be forsaken in the digital transition if possible. See what you think of their ideas and if they could work for how you engage with such content at the moment – I personally would love to give a device like the one they discuss a spin 🙂
