After all our blather about how much we hate print magazines that are reproduced online as “digital editions” a friend pointed out that compelling content can be done with a similar concept and that Slap Magazine has been doing it for a while now. Check out the Tyler Bledsoe interview for a little reminder.
The full-size animated sequences, .MP3 audio clips, and smooth page changing navigation system make all the difference in the world. It’s a solution that saves most of what is great about the contextual elements of traditional magazine layout while giving it digital life in a way that retains non-linear accessibility. And, aside from the Flash bits it even works okay on an iPhone.
