I’ve got something I want to share with you.
We’ve been working with our friends at Bonnier R&D exploring the future of digital magazines. Bonnier publish Popular Science and many other titles.
Magazines have articles you can curl up with and lose yourself in, and luscious photography that draws the eye. And they’re so easy and enjoyable to read. Can we marry what’s best about magazines with the always connected, portable tablet e-readers sure to arrive in 2010?
This video prototype shows the take of the Mag+ project.
You can see this same video bigger on Vimeo.
The articles run in scrolls, not pages, and are placed side-to-side in kind of mountain range (as we call it internally). Magazines still arrive in issues: people like the sense of completion at the end of each.
You flip through by shifting focus. Tap the pictures on the left of the screen to flip through the mag, tap text on the right to dive in.
It is, we hope, like stepping into a space for quiet reading. It’s pleasant to have an uncluttered space. Let the Web be the Web. But you can heat up the words and pics to share, comment, and to dig into supplementary material.
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. We hope so. That gets tested in the next stage, and rolled into everything learned from this, and feedback from the world at large! Join the discussion at the Bonnier R&D Beta Lab.
Recently there have been digital magazine prototypes by Sports Illustrated, and by Wired. It’s fascinating to see the best features of all of these.
Many teams at Bonnier have been involved in Mag+. This is a synthesis of so much work, research, and ideas. But I want to say in particular it’s a pleasure to collaborate with our friends at R&D. And here at BERG let me call out some specific credits: Jack Schulze, Matt Jones, Campbell Orme and Timo Arnall. Thanks all!
(See also Bonnier R&D’s Mag+ page, where you can leave comments and contact Bonnier, and the thoughts of Kicker Studio — who will be expanding the concept to robust prototype over the next few months in San Francisco! BERG’s attention has now moved to the social and wider services around Mag+ – we’ll be mapping those out and concepting – and we’re looking forward to working with all the teams into 2010. Awesome.)

I love what you have done to keep the feel of the magazine. I think this is one of the better concepts that I have seen if not the best. I would easily enjoy picking up a tablet (god hope it is soon) and read the articles in a magizine with that layout.
5. Rahul said on 17 December 2009...
This video, the idea and the production is just so ****in brilliant, I havent been able to work ALL day. Just stared (helplessly) at it over and over again for the sheer pleasure of it. Hat’s off to you Astronauts, Timo and the rest of the team! You’re setting standards others could only dream of reaching.
6. Paul M. Watson said on 17 December 2009...
Nice work guys, I like that you focused on the experience and content rather than how it would do it (e-Ink vs. LCD vs. physical buttons vs. touch screens vs. etc.)
I’d like to hear more about why you chose scrolling through text over flipping through pages though? I’ve found scrolling is micro-management of my reading experience. In your video there is even a few instances where you have to drag-scroll twice or three times to move down/up. On the iPhone I much prefer eBook readers which flip through pages rather than scroll. This isn’t to say I like the page-turning animations, as you rightly point out they feel dishonest to the medium.

10. bowerbird said on 17 December 2009...
ok, first off, there’s a lot here to like…
your flower imagery for contextual menus,
for instance, is quite nice. and the hints
(at the end) of your clipbook functionality
indicate that it might be designed nicely…
and finally, your “mountain-range” design is
old, but it is both intuitive and useful…
at the same time, though, you get some things
completely wrong. scrolling, for instance, is
something that readability experts have long
recognized is not the correct approach here…
it should be offered as _an_option_, but never
as the interface standard operating procedure.
moreover, you’ve neglected to show us some of
the things that we’ve come to learn _must_ be
present in an electronic-reading environment,
such as the ability to resize the text at will,
or change the measure, or manipulate leading.
but my main objection here is that a _video_
— taken of (what might well be) a canned demo,
in the hands of someone who is well-versed with
the demo, the hardware, and the interface being
promoted — is _not_ convincing, not to someone
who’s been suckered by such videos in the past.
it’s too easy to gloss over all the problems with
an interface when the audience can’t operate it,
to the point where i become suspicious whenever
a video is the only way i’m shown an interface.
put an app in our hands — one which we can fill
with our own arbitrary content — and then we’ll
know whether your interface is worthwhile or not.
_then_ you can show off your fancy movie…

Very interesting work! Seems very thorough on the usability side, but at the same time a bit too much traditional “paper magazine thinking” shines through to make this feel excellent for me.
Will definitely make sure to follow progress as you develop it into a robust prototype.
12. Kevin said on 17 December 2009...
Oh man… looks like this might give the folks at Apple some ideas instead of the other way around, for once.
13. Nice idea but? said on 17 December 2009...
Nice idea but? Will it really ever happen? Well in about 5 years time I think, but not very soon.
14. Marco Gerritsen said on 18 December 2009...
You’ve probably seen this vid already of the sports illustrated tablet demo 1.5, but if you didn’t check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntyXvLnxyXk
They’re also working on giving form to a new kind of digital magazine. I think the difference between the two is that you are focused, maybe too much, on the magazine part while the digital part is the part with the biggest opportunities, as seen on the youtube vid of sports illustrated. When you’re going digital, it’s a shame when you’re not using every option available. at least that’s what I think.
15. Julian Bleecker said on 18 December 2009...
Lovely concept, principles and communication — well designed and well-done!
16. Øblio said on 18 December 2009...
Very exciting. I enjoy the palpable size of the reader as it is very human friendly. The vibrancy of images, one of the key advantages of physical magazine does not seem to be lost here as it often is with e-readers. I thoroughly look forward to seeing how this product continues to develop. Cheers
17. Jack said on 18 December 2009...
Spectacular stuff! It’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into both aesthetics and functionality!
18. Matthew Anderson said on 18 December 2009...
Bowerbird,
I am curious, in your note on scrolling (“something that readability experts have long recognized is not the correct approach here”), what research you’re referring to. And to what platform is this research specific?
As a graphic designer — focused primarily on the web, and concerned with both readability and accessibility — I find scrolling to be one of the more intuitive actions a user can take in the process of engaging with written content. Western written language flows down, leading me to believe that our brains, from childhood, are wired to move South. We are also not prone to abandon a batch of content without finding satiation (who typically leaves a story mid-sentence, for instance?). So, if in the context of a vertical structure (which digital realms usually are), text that is leading the reader down offers a very natural choice: to scroll to where the content is.
But obviously in a horizontal environment there are more natural, time-honored reading patterns, such as the column structure, which expands upon the left-to-right maneuvering of the Western sentence.
Ultimately, in the case of scrollbars v. buttons (or whatever that particular argument), I intuit that the “best practice” depends entirely on the platform.
But, as noted, I am interested in the expertise that you reference on the subjest, and would like to learn from it.
19. rbrt said on 18 December 2009...
Speed readers often use a pencil or similar to support the eyes tracking on the page, often in a z-like manner, not on every line, perhaps every other or a few times on each page, depending on your reading ability. How will this work if the page flips everytime?
20. hawken king said on 18 December 2009...
when I rotate my iphone I really don’t want the content to rotate. sometimes it’s nice to read on your side (in bed for example)
21. Me said on 18 December 2009...
This is nice but won’t be coming any time soon. Period. For starters there’s no software to support that kind of design, especially not something a page designer would be able to figure out.
22. SNTS said on 18 December 2009...
Very impressive work, I’m looking forward to see the progress on this device.
23. Clia said on 18 December 2009...
Really inspiring take on presenting content digitally!
24. johan said on 18 December 2009...
I think it looks like a website on a large iPhone. well done

25. Will Hawkins said on 18 December 2009...
It’s like a very natural experience. Very nice design.
26. Thom Pulliam said on 18 December 2009...
I love this concept, the intuitiveness of the design and how the content seems to flow naturally. However, although I have the desire to go ahead and purchase an E-Reader that is already on the market (Nook, Kindle, etc) I am holding out for future designs (possibly like this one) that will incorporate periodicals, books, and content from my RSS reader. Instead of making an E-Mag reader or an E-Book reader, what consumers really crave is an E-content reader. With the development of Wi-Max networks and the cellular providers’ 3G and 4G networks, I hope this will soon be a reality.

i don’t think there’s been much research done…
primarily, in my opinion, because the designers
— like myself — have built programs that do it
both ways, and paging always seems far superior.
(scrolling looks cool in your demo videos, but
once you start actually trying to _read_ text…)
that’s not to deny that some users, some uses, and
some _styles_ of usage, work better with scrolling.
which is why we should always give users an option.
and it’s possible to merge both methods into one,
in a way such that it is rather seamless to users.
indeed, if you click inside the scrollbar itself,
and the view-window jumps — either up or down —
you are doing pagination rather than scrolling…
(the problem with a tablet is that the scrollbars
have been eliminated, replaced by a flick motion,
and this “click inside the scrollbar” functionality
hasn’t been replicated, so it is now lost to us.
but there’s no reason that it can’t be restored.)
one problem with most web-browsers, of course,
is that their view-window jumps are badly done,
such that they carry over lines of text from the
previous view; this means your brain has to scan
the text to find out where the next new stuff is.
the other main problem with web-browser view-jumps
is that lines of text and pictures are often split,
which creates more mental confusion while reading.
(some sites, like fffound.com, solve this problem
of split pictures with javascript that basically
introduces some intelligent pagination to the site;
i’d urge you to try fffound.com to see for yourself
such pagination is clearly a superior methodology.)
so — just to be thorough here — the benefits of
pagination is that your brain knows exactly where
the next new bit of text is going to be located
— at the top-left corner of the window — and it
won’t be distracted by any split text or pictures.
> And to what platform is this research specific?
i haven’t seen any paper scrolls recently… ;+)
-bowerbird
28. bowerbird said on 18 December 2009...
crap. that’s ffffound.com you should check.
pressing “j” paginates to the next photo,
and “k” jumps back to the last photo…
try that, and then try scrolling instead.

29. Jonas Lind said on 19 December 2009...
Great work, even though this is yet only on the conceptual level. It clearly shows that the magazine format can have a life in the post-print age. However, the experience from reading on a Mag+ is still dependent on the editorial and picture quality of the content. Only the best magazines can survive and expect their readers to pay for it. National Geographic would be great on the Mag+. The me-to-celeb-trash-rewrite-regurgitated content magazine with a “lean” editorial budget will still be junk on the Mag+. There is no silver bullet for magazines. Mediocre content is still mediocre content on the Mag+.
More about this on my blog post: http://www.mobileforesight.com/2009/12/the-mag-from-bonnier-an-ereader-to-replicate-the-magazine-experience/
30. janien said on 19 December 2009...
Stijn notified me … What a wonderful future for magazines! Beautiful! You are great.
31. Andrew Judge said on 20 December 2009...
Excellent concept. I agree wholeheartedly with the idea that the average reader appreciates a sense of completion.
32. Andrea said on 21 December 2009...
It looks amazing, very beautifull and subtile in a way. The Inspector Gadget-book wich I saw when I was young is now actually brought to life, great!
33. Vlad said on 21 December 2009...
The reason why pagination is superior to scrolling on long texts, and on long texts only, is that it allows you to remember where something was. The search function might try to provide a replacement, but it doesn’t always work because you have to know what to search for. For example if you’re looking for a particular quote in a long text you might not remember the exact phrasing – which is why the search function is useless – but in a book-like format you remember about where it was – about how far away in the book and where it was located on a page. If you replace pagination with scrolling you lose the possibility for this heuristic type of search.
34. Adrian Martel said on 23 December 2009...
Beautiful work, guys

Beautiful ui, a benchmark of how magazines should evolve on e-readers. There was mention in the comments of text resizing, I’d assume some pinching goodness would provide that functionality. Inspiring stuff.
37. Ianf said on 30 January 2010...
So, now that the http://www.apple.com/ipad/ is out, do you consider it worthy of your Magplus+ magazine concept, perhaps even an Answered Prayers device?
38. Casper said on 2 February 2010...
I can’t find this app in the iPad store?
39. Aleks said on 12 February 2010...
Yes this is truly great concept, but not to forget that there are tons of older people not wanting anything but plane paper book in their hands. Personally I think this is great concept and I will try this gadget.
40. Suzanne said on 12 February 2010...
hi – your video Concept Future of Digital Magazines was superb. Is your magazine readership research available anywhere please?
Also – would you have any interest in a discussion with Archant – i am not sure how much of your expertise we could afford!
41. Pell said on 12 February 2010...
It’s beautiful BUT…
If this had additional capabilities such as the iPad has, then I would purchase this in a heartbeat. I’m not one to hunt and peck on those tiny, tiny handheld devices where you need pin sized fingertips to press, and a magnifying glass to help you read.
I LOVE the size of this design, but want all the functions of a computer/phone etc….not just a magazine reader. Let me know if you’re going to do a more elegant version of the iPad.
42. Ficko said on 16 March 2010...
I really have to convince my grands to substitute their dusty books with this and with USB stick full with books. Will I succeed? Don’t think so ….:)
43. Nick said on 28 March 2010...
Future magazines are really tempting, because you can easily get to them in time. Not to mention the advanced search feature …
44. Victor Mireles said on 13 May 2010...
I disagree with naysayers about the cool features, such as page flipping animation, because they are simply options. Gimmicks, perhaps, but cool nonetheless. Of course what’s missing is video, such as this web site has. British design rocks!
45. Webstandard-Blog said on 18 May 2010...
@J.D. Hollis: The radial Menu is really nice, that’s true. Should be easily to solve with CSS3.
46. SohoPortal said on 24 July 2010...
This is outstanding technology
I agree with Paul, the focus you placed on the experience and content serves to enhance the users experience, combined with your goal not to get in the way of the UI experience.
47. pchopes.com said on 25 July 2010...
Reasons why i go for ebooks
1. They are delivered almost instantaneously. You purchase and download and start reading them within minutes without leaving your chair. No need to wait for them for days, weeks and sometimes more to arrive by mail. If you buy books online you have to pay packing and shipping cost, but ebooks no packing, no shipping.
2. Go GREEN – Save the Forests – No trees are required to manufacture paper for the pages of an ebook.
3. Many ebooks are sold nowadays with bonuses, which you usually do not get with a printed book. This adds value to your purchase.
4. They are more safely stored and carried from one place to another, than ordinary books. They also withstand time more than books.
5. They can show links for easy access to more information and relate you directly to websites.
48. Hen Ideas said on 31 July 2010...
Nice product, and these, and Apple iPads are great to just HAVE. But I really like the paper-mags – you can roll them up, and it doesn’t matter if you drop them etc.
49. John said on 9 August 2010...
After using all those “electronic readers” I have to say … we should save paper for something better.
50. Corey - The Graphic Design Hound said on 12 August 2010...
Matt, This is pretty cool but it reminds me of the iPad, albeit a more functional version. Can’t wait ’till it comes out!
51. Patrick said on 7 September 2010...
Very impressive work! Thanks you.
52. Digital Magazine Subscriptions said on 4 October 2010...
Not too far off what’s ended up on the iPad really. Well predicted guys!
53. sinclaire into said on 30 November 2010...
This digital viewer is a great work. The resolution is HD. Time to go eco-friendly. Digital magazines are for sure a great success.
54. anne's life said on 14 December 2010...
This is amazing to watch but it would have been better if you tell us that when are you going to market it. And mentioning its price would be great!!
55. united said on 4 February 2011...
this is our future magazine concept and its true that in future we will read this type of newspaper.i like this style to read magazine
56. Gaz Smith said on 9 August 2011...
