[Laura Shore] Is the iPad a game changer and if so, which game will it change the most: print or PCs? Amidst the hype it was interesting to read the comments of celebrated magazine designer, Luke Hayman of Pentagram.
He suggests that the iPad might just usher in a new role for print. “If digital magazines with rich, uncompromised, real-time content corner the market on delivering what you need to know right now, what’s the point of print? I think that the publications that end up enduring will be the ones that exploit what print alone can do. The best ones will be things that you want to save, not toss in the recycling bin. They’ll project a sense of craftsmanship and permanence. And each one should be an object that just feels terrific in your hand. If you’re spending most of your free-time holding an iPad, you just might welcome a change of pace.” Read Luke Hayman’s article, Five Ways the iPad Will Change Magazine Design here.
