An Ex-Pixar Designer Creates Astounding Kids' Book On iPad | Co.Design

by gregg & 3 others
E-books are already a fraught subject for many readers, writers, publishers and designers, but children's e-books are even more so. Is it rotting their minds? Is it as good as good ol' paper? Is it too interactive for their own good? Obviously there are no practical answers to such questions, but at least one children's e-book/app/thingie (what do we call these things, again?) is doing it very, very right. It's called "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," and it's like a well-written bedtime story and an immersive animated movie at once -- without being "too much" of either.

Batman R.I.P

by alamat & 1 other (via)
Grant Morrison may be the most polarizing of comic book writers out there today. Depending on who you ask, he’s can be either revered as the savior of X-Men comics (with his early 00s New X-Men run), or demonized as the destroyer of quality X-Men comics. His stories are always deep, complex, psychedelic, and sometimes too smart for their own good. And that was before Grant admittedly totally changed the way he writes his comics’ narratives.

Designing faster with a baseline grid | Teehan+Lax

by sbrothier & 1 other
Lately, grids have become the ultimate obsession of designers and design writers: hundreds — not to say thousands — of articles, tutorials, books and websites solely dedicated to grids and their application in (web)design have been published in the last few years. A simple search on Google with the terms “grid” and “webdesign” returns almost 5 million results. There is even a movie with characters trapped in what they call “the grid” […] “a final frontier”.

The Web Is a Customer Service Medium (Ftrain.com)

by karlcow

I call the people who say such things the Gutenbourgeois. They believe in the cultural primacy of writers and editors and they feel good—even a bit superior—about working in publishing.

They believe it is their job to drive culture forward. The web, they are a little proud to admit, confuses them.

Digital shift: writing for transmedia « The Pixel Report

by gregg
How does one write a dynamic, immersive, interactive experience where the film is just one part (and a static one at that)? Maureen McHugh is a Hugo award-winning short story writer and novelist, and a partner at L.A.-based No Mimes Media, one of the world leaders in designing transmedia entertainment experiences. Speaking at Power to the Pixel’s Cross-Media Forum in London last month, Maureen explores whether ARGs, transmedia and digital media are more than simple promotional tools, how audiences expect to impact a story, and what that now means for writers.
