From Print to iPad: designing a reading experience
Harry BrignullWednesday 18 April, 15:15 - 15:30
UX Designers always talk about failing early and often, but we rarely share the gritty details of the problems we face and the disasters we narrowly avert when working behind closed doors.
In this “warts and all” case study, Harry will talk through the design of The Week magazine’s iPad app, telling the story of the project from the initial sketches through to its launch in Apple’s Newsstand.
