Mag+ digital magazines concept from Berg →
The Mag+ digital magazines concept from Berg, above, is the most radical -yet elegant- of the recent magazine concepts I’ve seen. It takes the biggest leap in reinventing the interface, but with objective of recreating the current experience.
They also take into account the magazines creation process, saying:
The design has an eye to how paper magazines can re-use their editorial work without having to drastically change their workflow or add new teams. Maybe if the form is clear enough then every mag, no matter how niche, can look gorgeous, be super easy to understand, and have a great reading experience.
I find it really exciting that we are seeing so many concepts begging for hardware. It reminds of the multi-touch concepts that started top crop out a full year before the iPhone was released.
