UK creative magazine Distill have just made their latest edition available to buy on the iPhone app store. From the video above this has to be the best adaptation of a print mag to iPhone conversion I have ever seen (Grated there have not been many). The iPhone app work was done by a London digital agency called Ustwo. I bought the app to try it out and I must say navigation is very simple, text easy to read, and pictures are easy to scroll and zoom around as you would expect from the iPhone / iPod touch.
Why more main stream publications haven’t figured out / done this yet boggles my mind. There is huge market for digital versions of their magazines, especially on products like the iPhone and even the new android phones. Screen sizes seems to be about right now and file sizes don’t need to be huge, the Distill mag is pretty extensive and is only 40mb (and costs £2.99).
Distill magazine is a UK creative magazine featuring the “The finest fashion and art photography in the world”, the content for the mag is selected by an Editorial Board consisting of the likes of John Galliano, Donatella Versace, Manolo Blahnik, Matthew Williamson, Giles Deacon and many more.
