This conceptual video is a corporate collaborative research project initiated by Bonnier R&D into the experience of reading magazines on handheld digital devices. It illustrates one possible vision for digital magazines in the near future, presented by our design partners at BERG.

Popular Science+ is the first digital magazine to emerge from Bonnier’s Mag+

Theresa recently wrote a new book, “Designing Web Interfaces” which i’m reading at the moment and is really well written. (Not as nice as Jenifer Tidwells Desiging Interfaces, but i’m only half way through the book… ) Here are her slides if you don’t want to read the whole article, including the 15 different layouts she talks about and the 6 patterns:

During the following weeks, i will work through them, post my experiments and write some very nice book reviews. What i’ve seen so far looks quite good; The first book is mainly about how OOP works for Actiosnscript 2, you learn to create a framework and work with the new exotic classes that come with Flash 8.

The second book, Flash 8 Essentials talks more about filters, blendmodes, video for Flash (the new On2 Codec) and the BitmapData API (you can create old skool demo’s with flash!!) I will experiment with the BitmapData Class alot!

The last book goes indepth about the Flash Component architecture, how to create, deploy and skin components. I’m gonna have so much fun experimenting I’ll keep you posted.
