What does the world of print have to offer to the world of Web? A lot, actually. As more of the population shifts to reading their favorite periodicals online, Designers have to keep in mind that readers are still incredibly influenced by a lifetime of reading magazines and newspapers in a fairly standardized form (index to the front, full pages of advertisements, notes from the editor around page 5, etc.)
Jason Santa Maria, speaking in this SVA Dot Dot Dot lecture, covers this ground interestingly - breaking out point-by-point comparisons of the two (and a hilarious juxtaposition of a print WIRED article vs. its online cousin).
For my money, I.D. Magazine comes closest to feeling like a real, beautifully designed magazine. But then again, I think they're advertisers are a little "higher brow" than cowboys line dancing to celebrate new, lower mortgage rates.
Is this video comprehensive? No.
Is it a start? Absolutely.
