If your organisation is considering what to do to have a popular and profitable iPad presence, INNOVATION can help.

 

We are already developing the first iPad products with a radical new content architecture, navigation and design

 

 

INNOVATION is a pioneer in the creation and development of digital narratives and visual journalism, with decades of award-winning concepts, designs and products.

 

We have been commissioned the development of two major global newspaper iPad versions as well as three leading consumer magazines.

 

We have put together our best team of visual editors, multimedia journalists, designers and developers to expand our Digital News Design team so they can help our clients launch new iPad products in 2010.

 

This team is made up of the winners of ‘Best Newspaper Concept and Design’ in Europe and the World for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The team has a demonstrable record of success with its product conception and creation – success measured in notable increases in circulation and sales for each award-winning project.

 

 

We believe you cannot pour old wine into new bottles. We believe the iPad is a new medium, a new platform which requires mastering and producing new digital narratives. The iPad and tablets require a new journalistic grammar, new workflows and innovative storytelling techniques.

 

 

Producing content for the iPad also requires a new newsroom organisation where integrated teams can produce quality content without duplicating resources, overwhelming staff and diluting quality. We are world leaders in the integration and design of newsrooms and we have developed workflows and organisations that can help you do it all – including an iPad.

 

 

We also believe, the iPad is business unusual and it requires a well-defined model for paying for its content. Our management team have developed methods and guidelines on how to get consumers to pay for iPad content from the very beginning at price-sensitive costs and with clear payment methods beyond iTunes.

 

If indeed you want to enter and embrace the iPad age, INNOVATION can help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If ever there was a time to shake things up, it's now.

 

INNOVATION Media Consulting presents the Innovations in Magazines 2010 World Report: a look at the top magazines and publishers, and what they're doing not only to stay ahead of the curve, but to set it. While some struggling under the pressure of a tough economy, others are thriving because of it.

 

Over the past year, INNOVATION has sought out the brightest in the business, who are not only weathering the storm but developing new content and revenue streams to ensure their good health into the 21st century.

 

Here, you'll find new marketing strategies and new technologies. You'll see multimedia used like never before, and you'll see emerging forms of journalism and content. But most of all, you'll see where the magazine industry is headed. Publishers are getting creative and by blending future technology with old-fashioned hard work, they're making huge strides in moving the industry forward. The future of magazines is indeed bright, and in this first annual Innovations in Magazines World Report, we'll show you why.

 

The Innovations in Magazines 2010 World Report was first presented on March 1, 2010, by its editors and INNOVATION consultants, Juan Señor and John Wilpers, at the Digital Innovators' Summit in Berlin. The study is co-sponsored by INNOVATION and FIPP.

As of today INNOVATION begins the development of the first iPad newspaper app with a radical new content architecture, navigation and design.

 

We will launch it in a few months time. We have put together our best team of visual editors, multimedia journalists, designers and developers to expand our Digital News Design team so they can access the SDK code for iPads and begin the creation of the first original newspaper iPad.

 

 

 

 

 

Juan Antonio Giner, president and founder of INNOVATION has started an only 20-day long blog in Spanish about the launch of the new Apple tablet.

 

A few minutes ago, the 11th European Newspaper Awards were announced and, i, the fantastic new paper from Lisbon is the big winner.

 

The European Newspaper Awards are organized by Norbert Küpper from Meerbusch (Germany) with the journalism magazines “Medium Magazin” from Frankfurt/Main, “Der Österreichische Journalist” from Salzburg (Austria) and “Schweizer Journalist” from Wilen/Wil (Switzerland).

 

A few weeks ago i was awarded as one the best designed newspaper of Portugal and Spain of the year.

 

Now i gets this European Newspaper Award.

 

This is not just a design contest.

 

The European Award includes “design and concept” and i is unique in both areas.

 

The Jury statement said;

 

“i” persuaded the jury through its special innovative approach. Newly established, the newspaper can start full of energy. It is precisely this that makes “informação” fascinating in all fields: Photography, page layout, alternative types of journalistic articles and innovative sections – completely focusing on the power of new ideas. All in all, a newspaper is evolved quintessentially, an all-round innovation. It almost goes without saying: The homepage www.ionline.pt has a similarly innovative appearance as the printed newspaper.”

 

INNOVATION’s Javier Errea has won right now more European Newspaper Awards than any other design consultant in the world.

 

Read here the INNOVATION MANIFESTO FOR i.

 

See here and here, a large selection of its best pages.

 

And here you can find a interview with its Art Director, Nick Mrozowski.

 

Yes, i is becoming the most innovative newspaper done by the INNOVATION team in the last 20 years.

 

A real revolution.

 

A needed revolution.

 

Launched just six months ago during the worst economic times…

 

A lesson for the newspaper industry.

 

And here are the real winners.

 

A young newsroom.

 

With energetic team of editors and managers.

 

And a brave company, Grupo Lena, investing in times of crisis.
 

The Award will be presented to i during the 2010 European Newspaper Congress (Vienna, April, 25-27).

And almost one year ago, the new board of directors of LIBE, headed by Edouard de Rothschild, hired INNOVATION to produce a full graphic redesign of the paper with a new editorial formula developed after several meetings in Paris with Laurent Joffrin and his team.

 

L’info est un combat is the new slogan for the launch campaign to emphasise that LIBE is back to quality, punchy, investigative and non-conformist journalism of the politically incorrect.

 

Thanks to LIBE and thanks to INNOVATION team for your dedication and enthusiasm: Juan Antonio Giner (UK) and Juan Señor (UK), Javier Errea (Spain), Antonio Martin (Spain), Pablo Errea (Spain), Andrew Jaspan (Australia), Thomaz Souto Correa (Brazil), Juan Caño (Spain), Deborah Withey (UK) and Sophie Bougneres (France).
