Before I even started this project, I was already curious<br />

on how “digital publications” work. I have a bunch<br />

of magazine apps like Zinio and I even have an active<br />

subscription for TIME in digital format. The ease of use<br />

and overall accessibility of this digital formats are so<br />

amazing. You don’t have to bring anything with you<br />

if you want to read, just your phone or tablet and you<br />

can gain access to your book or magazine library anytime<br />

anywhere.<br />

What really got my attention was how easy it was to<br />

distribute without any upfront costs. Apple iBooks offers<br />

free books, Zinio offers free magazines, Amazon<br />

and Kobo Books also offers free content to their ever<br />

increasing readerbase. I studied a lot of this stuff because<br />

I also want to create and design a magazine and<br />

although it was never easy at first (specially with Apple),<br />

everything was well worth it when Apple finally<br />

published <strong>Phygure®</strong>’s very first issue on their iBooks<br />

store.<br />

The good thing about somewhat “perfecting” Apple’s<br />

strict design standards in terms of creating a magazine<br />

(or a book) is that you’re pretty much covered if you<br />

also want to publish on other platforms like Amazon<br />

or Kobo (and luckily enough, we also got published on<br />

Kobo Books!). I tried publishing on Amazon but they<br />

require that the magazine/book must have a minimum<br />

price of 1 USD. I know it’s just a very small amount but<br />

I want <strong>Phygure®</strong> to be freely accessible to everyone.<br />
