OVERVIEW
Tablet devices have revolutionized the way readers interact with pub-
lications including books, magazines, and newspapers. The reading

the digital medium—photos and videos are incredibly brilliant and

release of our digital edition for the iPad—with Android platforms
to be introduced shortly. The tablet platform offers an engaging and
unique way for advertisers to connect with our readers.
INTERACTIVE GUIDELINES
The tablet magazine format is exclusively portrait orientation. The
reader swipes left-and-right to navigate between articles, then swipes
up-and-down to read deeper to explore the words and photos of each
story. Ads will be placed between these articles having the option to
be either static or interactive. Interactive ads can choose to include
one of the following interactive elements:

InDesign file or as separate PDFs of the individual elements. Video files
