The Magazine of the Future… Happening Now

VIV Magazine unleashes the power of Apple’s iPad to give us a visually striking example of the future of magazines and interactive, cross-platform, multimedia presentations. Here’s their breathtaking new film-noir piece, which showcases amazing, cinematic production value (a la Frank Miller’s “Sin City”):

Impressed and intrigued? I certainly was. Content creators and distributors are taking note of this game-changing piece, and others like it.

Fortunately, VIV offers us a peek behind the curtain of their beautiful production:

The questions that bubble up in my mind, which I’ll guess are probably presenting to you as well are, “How can I take my productions to the next level, given the resources at my disposal? How can I make use of emerging technologies to supercharge my creative output? What kind of alliances and collaborations can I form to help make this possible?”

Countless technological innovations have endowed visual artists with virtually unlimited power. If we can dream it up, and if we can muster the resources to support our vision (an important part of the equation), we can create it. Even the sky isn’t the limit. Now go make it happen (and when you do, drop me a line, because I love being inspired by fellow creatives, as I was by the VIV crew).
