A fashion magazine based in the United Kingdom, Distill, is skipping a dead tree version and distributing its latest edition as an iPhone app.
Distill consolidates the best work of emerging photographers, art directors and stylists from about 50 little-known magazines around the world. The anthology magazine’s iPhone edition includes buttons for the inspirations, credits and details behind photography and layouts.
More baby steps toward the invention of a new magazine medium — the transformation of double-page, 17-by-11-inch layouts into 480-by-320-pixel iPhone screens. Trade-offs.
Elsewhere, it appears Conde Nast is planning to distribute Wired and other magazines on an as-yet unannounced Apple tablet.
