It’s time to dust off those round table discussions so II readers can voice their opinions on the latest use of FLPY, the online multimedia magazine, as seen in Scientific American’s latest package “Powering a Green Planet.” Take five minutes to look through the nine “pages” in this package and think about the layout of content. Do you like the flipping animation imitating how one would flip a page in a book? Were the graphics effective in explaining energy conservation issues? Take a stand one way or the other and let’s start this month’s round table discussion!
It’s been several months since I opened up conversation about a particular multimedia piece, but I enjoyed the conversation so much from last round table that I would like to hear your thoughts on an interactive I came across today by the Arizona Daily Star, titled “Beyond the barrel.” Spend some time on this package, look at how they organized and designed the site, and think about what medium they used for each part of the story. Then, add your opinions in the comments on what you liked, what could have been improved, and your general impression on this interactive.
