Comments: “It’s a challenge to chapterize, and the left nav and unusual audio indicator made for a unique experience. It’s not necessarily pushing the boundaries of editorial design but it certainly is an adventure in product design, specifically in the read indicator and the ‘Save My Spot’ button. The animation of elements appearing added emphasis. There’s innovation in the wayfinding and in how the reader is going to experience this story.”
