This is pretty much how magazines have been put together for the past 20 years. Pagemaker/Indesign, proofing, moving stuff around, printing, proofing, re-designing, proofing again and printing until the deadline drops.
What will it look like to layout the same content but for an iPad using everything that an iPad offers on a weekly basis? I’m convinced no one has invented this process yet and it’s begging to be created.
BUSINESSWEEK: THE MOVIE SORT OF (bybizweekgraphics)
“Jobs’s immersion in Zen and passion for design almost certainly exposed him to the concept of ma, a central pillar of traditional Japanese aesthetics. Like many idioms relating to the intimate aspects of how a culture sees the world, it’s nearly impossible to accurately explain — it’s variously translated as “void,” “space” or “interval” — but it essentially describes how emptiness interacts with form, and how absence shapes substance. If someone were to ask you what makes a ring a meaningful object — the circle of metal it consists of, or the emptiness that that metal encompasses? — and you were to respond “both,” you’ve gotten as close to ma as the clumsy instrument of English allows.”

Because when an object’s materials, the materials’ processes and the form are all perfectly aligned, that object has a very real resonance on lots of levels. People recognize that object as authentic and real in a very particular way.”

Say what you will about Apple but they may have the best massmarket Design+Engineering+Manufacturing team on the planet. The tolerance on the SIM card enclosure is flat out breathtaking for a mass marketing consumer electronics device.
This is a great name for a color: heart-of-BP-executive black
As we’re all aware by now, one of the worst environmental disasters in recorded history is underway in the Gulf.
As helpless as you may feel, you can do something right now by donating to a Gulf protection group like Save Our Gulf, the National Audubon Society, or the Greater New Orleans Foundation.
To get all of you involved this week, we’re replacing Tumblr’s usual ocean blue with a new heart-of-BP-executive black and letting you donate without leaving your Dashboard.
Donating will also unlock the Limited Edition Black Dashboard as an account preference.
