THE STORY BEHIND MAG+
TransWorld SNOWboarding+ is the first magazine to emerge from TransWorld's Mag+, an ongoing project across all our titles in the U.S. and Europe to rethink the way magazines can be read on a new generation of full-color, touchscreen tablet devices.
It's not about re-creating the magazine; it's about re-creating the magazine experience.
It's a relaxed, immersive environment where high-quality writing and stunning imagery work hand in hand to pull you into stories and through each issue. Our goal is to take the digital magazine beyond the first-generation pinch-and-zoom PDF replicas and create something that readers can use as effortlessly as the print version while taking advantage of the capabilities a digital environment offers.
The six design principles that underlie the Mag+ digital platform:- SILENT MODE: Magazines are a luxury that readers can lose themselves in. Mag + has fewer distractions than the Web. It allows readers to lean back, away from the browser, and just focus on the bold images and rich storytelling. Reduced complexity increases a reader's immersion.
- FLUID MOTION: Magazines are easy to browse, and Mag+ replicates that with a story-to-story navigation that's more like a panning camera than a flipping page. As we say, "Flow is the new flip."
- DESIGNED PAGES: Magazines are defined by their carefully conceived layouts that give readers an immediate understanding of the content and why it matters to them, a quality that got lost on magazine Web sites. Mag+ brings design back to digital publishing.
- DEFINED BEGINNING AND END: Unlike the Web, magazines have a defined storyline and flow from front to back. Mag + returns to the notion that something can be, and wants to be, completed. It's the end of endlessness.
- ISSUE-BASED DELIVERY: One of the great joys of magazines is that feeling of anticipation when a new one arrives. Mag+ maintains that by delivering full issues at once with all the same content as the print edition, and on the same schedule.
- ADVERTISING AS CONTENT: Relevant, attractive advertising is as much a part of the magazine experience as the editorial content, and Bonnier wants Mag+ advertising to include both pin-ups and applications readers can appreciate.
