Peter Collingridge to speak at D&AD’s inaugural Sharp’ner event 25/05/10

Enhanced Editions’ The Death of Bunny Munro app was the first ever ebook submission for the D&AD design awards earlier this year, and it almost made it to the judging stage, but it wasn’t to be. To show there are no hard feelings, on Wednesday 26 May Enhanced Editions co-founder Peter Collingridge will be speaking at D&AD’s inaugural Sharp’ner event, which aims to bring publishers and designers together to “explore the future of books and book design alongside current and dream projects.” Peter will talk about the design decisions made during the early stages of development, the challenge of creating an invisible design, and the complex synergy that exists between design, user experience and reading. You can buy tickets from the D&AD online shop.

If you can’t make the Sharp’ner event, or you want to “try before you buy”, check out Peter’s keynote address from this year’s Tools of Change conference, and his “Fail Harder” pecha kucha from last year’s London Book Fair

Feature: Synched Audio and Text 31/08/09

The iPhone is many things beside a phone of course, and what must be the most-used feature is audio – usually music. And audio impinges heavily on the reading experience as well, whether it’s listening to an album while you’re reading, or making the full transition to an audiobook read in a lively and entertaining style. (The audiobook has been around for many years now, from those huge tape packs you used to buy for long car journeys, through CDs to a new lease of life as mp3s from retailers like Audible and iTunes. The fact that audiobooks frequently outsell the hardback edition of many books is a direct but little-quoted challenge to the persistent idea that the physical, paper book is the only “real” way to read.)

Feature: Tilt Scrolling! 30/08/09
