One Day In The Life: Digital Magazine Publishing on the iPad
"One Day in the Life" is an interactive design experience based on the adventures of the Advanced Multimedia class (Mult 301). The student designers spent three days in the Fall of 2012 chronicling 24 hours in the life of California Lutheran University, the city of Thousand Oaks, and the City of Los Angeles. The challenge was to take photographs, shoot videos, record thoughts, feelings, insights and discoveries--to find the extraordinary in the ordinary and discover soulful stories.
This year the project has been brought together into a design-driven, documentary-style digital magazine, viewable on the iPad tablet device. This creates a greater level of interactivity than can be found in traditional print media. The purpose is to show the direction that graphic design, magazine publishing, and digital media are heading toward in the future and how this new medium can provide a deeper, more immersive experience.
