Gadgets & Goals: The near future of Magazines

The statement “Print Media is Dead” tends to be repeated over and over again every year. The idea of “New Media” in the digital era seems to lead everyone to believe that is the future. Now, it has been a slow adaptation in truth, but many continue to think ahead as the press sales decline. A few people have created what they believe to be the future of digital media, and we have been embracing and debating which ideas are truly the ones that we may use, and that we are aspiring to look to with every step.

Here’s a video showing the “Mag+“:

Here’s an example of the magazine adapted to the upcoming Apple pad and future tablets:

And here’s an example of a digital magazine: Click.

Since we are not going to be a traditional magazine, we’ll be adapting to a digital version to be able to link you to blog posts, and various websites via our future site. Currently what we are determining is the future of media on the web, not necessarily of print. Therefore that is why we are creating an “E Zine” and quite truly not trying to be a magazine, as we are an experiment after all too.

Update: Our new layout for the magazine will not be a flip page, but something quite different. It will be flash, but look forward to something more adaptable.
