Overview

As previously discussed, my idea is an interactive magazine about university life but focusing on Swansea metropolitan. This may be a broad topic when you think about it but in not going to go in great detail about everything, so in thinking this mag as more of a student survival guide and how much of a fun experience uni is, sk this covers different events, sports etc.

I have looked into how the magazine will be made, i looked into the different ways i could make it
one option is a html5 app, so basically a responsive website. This is a viable option as this will enable me to design it for many screens sizes and a range of devices.
 This would also enable more features.another option is to create the magazine in indesign and then either use a plugin called mag+ or use the adobe digital publishing suite, the mag+ option is a rather simple option with basic interactivity option, while the dps enables me to add html5 files.
The other option which i currently think is a no go is the use of ibooks author. Its a good tool but lacks the complexity for a major project.
At the moment the indesign with the adobe dps is the leading contender but with more research into the better option i cant make the decision yet.
