About this video

Description

Traditionally, magazine designers and editors have been well-equipped to create compelling experiences in print, but highly crafted digital formats have proven more elusive. With the arrival of the iPad, Condé Nast's WIRED — in partnership with Adobe — is leading an industry-wide revolution in how people experience consumer magazines. Scott explains the behind-the-scenes process for the creation of a new digital version of WIRED.
