We've cluttered up the web with hideous ads, created confusion with a business model that forces us to click 10 times to see a few cat pictures, and failed with useless digital “replicas” of magazines. But there are $1.3 billion e-books sold in the US every year, so apparently, long-form reading on the screen is succeeding. What have we done, and what can we do?
This event is now sold out!
Join us for an evening with legendary designer, art director and SND Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Roger Black as he focuses on typography and UI design, makes predictions about the future of editorial experience, and challenges us to create an immersive digital publication.
