Mega-phones: the impact of growing screen sizes on Digital Publishing

Posted by Esther Kezia Harding on Aug 13, 2014 5:26:03 PM

The internet has been awash with photographs of a leaked prototype of the iPhone 6. Although the iPhone is by no means the first larger-screened phone on the market, it highlights a trend that will provide exciting challenges for digital publishers...

Whether these pictures are genuine or not, it is no secret that Apple's iPhone screens will be having a growth spurt. About time too: the iphone is lagging behind the screen sizes of its competitors (as pointed out in Samsung's cheeky advert about screen envy- click here to watch).

Digital publishing: Is the purpose of digital to mimic print?

Posted by Esther Kezia Harding on Jul 25, 2014 2:53:15 PM

We’re deep into the age of digital publishing. Do the needs of yesterday still stand today?

In 2012, a survey from the Pew Research Centre and The Economist found that 60% of Americans under the age of 40 preferred to read conventional print-like versions of newspapers and lifestyle magazines on their tablets rather than interactive ones.

Amazon launches unlimited e-book subscription service

Posted by Esther Kezia Harding on Jul 23, 2014 9:59:04 AM

Amazon has taken its next big step in dominating the e-book market with its release of 'Kindle Unlimited', which allows subscribers unlimited access to e-books, for $9.99 a month.

Although currently limited to the US, Amazon's new service has the potential to dramatically alter the way books are consumed. The subscription model itself is not a new one; companies like Spotify are well-known for changing the way we listen to and purchase music. More recently, ventures like Readly, a subscription-based magazine service,  have taken steps to translate this into the Digital Publishing world.

Review: Virgin Holidays 'Unleashed'

Posted by Esther Kezia Harding on Jul 15, 2014 9:52:33 AM

Virgin Holidays have just launched their first digital publication - 'Unleashed'. Is its sleek design and interactive content enough to make it stand out in the world of Digital Publishing?

Despite having a somewhat predictable image on the front cover, my first impression of the magazine is that I'm definitely going to come away wanting to book a holiday somewhere exotic. Both the cover and Branson's introduction to 'Unleashed' are full of challenges: 'Could you zipline above a jungle canopy?'; 'Have you got what it takes to become a sushi master?' and 'Come on, Dive in!'.
