The Challenge
PDFs are difficult to read on a tablet or mobile device. However, templatized content like articles are easy to read on these devices but then you lose out on all the interesting layouts that a magazine has to offer.
The problem to be solved was how do you allow the magazine to embrace digital layouts without compromising on artistic vision and a seamless user experience.
