Designing for the touch screen

by janinewarner on February 19, 2010

As computers evolve from the mouse and keyboard, to the touch screen, and media moves from paper and television screen to monitors of all size and shapes, we must find new and innovative ways to make it easy to interact with text, images, video and more.

With all the new devices on the market this year — from the last version of the Amazon Kindle to the Apple iPad to the Barns and Noble Nook — there have never been more ways to explore content in the palm of your hand.

With the advent of the Vook  (which combines text and video in a new book format) to new models for newspapers and magazines (check the Apple App store for great examples), it’s time to reinvent how we use computers by touch.

If you want to see what a next generation, multimedia publication might look like, check out this inspiring video by designers from Bonnier’s Research & Development team on how to make text, images, and more come to life in the emerging world of the touchscreen.
