More Information
Summary:Night Shifts is a digital magazine developed for the iPad that depicts articles and videos with a structured and explicit approach. The magazine-app displays seven different personalities that work over night in Zurich- the portraits’ running time is 56 minutes. Classical print magazines inspire the design and ergonomics of Night Shifts. The interactive part of the App is reduced to few intuitive navigation possibilities. The App is programmed with C+ and runs on the iPad native. Thanks to pre-loading the high quality video content runs with no delay. The authors developed a colour concept, icons, typography concept and narrative concept to suite the thematic field of Night Shifts. The combination between text, photos and videos creates an inspiring body of work that captivates the reader by opening a new world of fascinating stories and personalities.
