WEB STUDIO IN THE PRESS

Designing for the iPad over the past few months has been a liberating experience, but has also forced us to make some big adjustments to our best design methodology.

We found it useful to keep asking ourselves, ‘Are we taking full advantage of the tablet here? Or just just making another iPhone app?’

We recently redesigned History.com to make it today’s premier site for all things past. The new site not only supports the network’s programming, but is a new destination in and of itself for stories, photo, video, games and community. Attracting a new audience of history buffs young and old, History.com provides users with a wealth of topics and tools. In the May issue of OMMA Magazine, a Creative Roundtable discussed the redesign.
