How international students envision the perfect iPad-magazine
Sometimes it’s much more satisfying to work with young unspoiled newcomers than with cynic so-called professionals. At least this was the case at the Information Design Class I guest-lectured at Berlin art-school UDK this spring and summer. Basically we invented a pretty cool iPad-mag. Please take a look …
The class was held with graphic-design icon Severin Wucher and creative director Brian O’Connor, who is my partner at new editorial consulting agency re_think. I told the international team of students about basics of journalism, different forms of storytelling, and how the profession changes in times of digital media.
Then we moved on to create an actual product: A monthly iPad-magazine that makes use of many of the options tablets give us. We animated 14 stories (see below), and the exhibition, held two weeks ago, was quite a success.
Also check out the Making-of-video at the bottom. It gives you a good idea of how creative and energetic the work process was. Thanks again to everyone!
