Rue

Rue magazine
This magazine can be viewed on your screen or through an ipad app. Rue has articles about fashion, food and interior design. The overall on-line magazine layout is similar to a print magazine such as real simple. Both magazines are clean with an open layout that has plenty of white space.
The Rue magazine website is less cluttered. The website acts as the shell for the digital magazine and to point out certain topics. I enjoy flipping through the magazine pages as if it were a print piece. Being able to click on topics I like to automatically go to that website is very convenient. Having the magazine in digital format on-line the designers can focus on the information in the magazine and then focus on the information on-line separately.
When I visit realsimple.com I notice that all the articles I’ve seen/read in the print version are on the homepage. On ruemag.com I can go onto the site view the magazine and then view other topics the designers have pulled out and placed on the website. It allows all the information from the magazine and additional information to site nicely on a website with out over whelming the site with information.
The interior of the rue magazine is very similar to a print magazine however it appears to have less on each page. Since this magazine fits on an ipad designers probably had that in mind as to how much content can fit on an ipad screen. The font is mostly san-serif, which is easier to read on-line.
Overall this magazine captures some similarities to actual print magazines however conforms them nicely to an on-line only publication. Similar to printed magazines the pages of the digital magazine are set up in certain groups of topics- fashion, interior design, going out, etc. It has created a nice open space for viewers to read the magazine and additional information with out repeating information on two platforms.
