:CD Magazine issue 1

May 22nd, 2008 | No Comments » |

The 26inches.com magazine ran bi-monthly over 8 issues. The first, and still the only, of its kind in Australia, it was based on a mix of written, video and interactive articles. Starting as a web based magazine, it progressed to CD and finally DVD for its last issue. It was ceased as the readership was ultimately not enough to sustain it’s increasing production costs and there was little desire by those involved to do a more traditional print based magazine.

CD 1, as you can gather, was the first of the disc formats and allowed greater interactivity and size of content. It was a bit of an experiment, and looking at it now, maybe even a challenge, for those reading it but hey, you have to start somewhere!

Be warned:

This is the whole CD and nothing’s been cut down. The video content is big, 80Mb+, so it’s best looked at on a big pipe connection.

The presentation uses pop up windows.

The site is housed in a Flash wrapper, so make sure your browser is capable of seeing Flash files.

Written articles are delivered in Acrobat.
