Multimedia Experience: 3 Ideas

With two out of the three ideas, I was trying to explore alternate ways of providing news to my audience that would allow them to receive the same news in a quicker amount of time, or a way that worked better with their busy lifestyle. One of these ideas was to provide the articles in a form of a podcast. This way they could receive their news while working or doing something else. Urban professionals are busy people that have to multitask. Who has time to read anymore? They would be able to click on the article and listen to that, or they could click on the genre the article is in, an example being technology, and listen to other podcast able technology. The other idea is receiving an article in photo form. This way they could spend as much or as little time looking at the photographs. I set up the newsletter so that their are multiple slideshows within the newsletter, one "story" goes right to left and their so enough space between the articles so you can only see one slideshow at once. The last idea is more Web 2.0 friendly, were the reader has the ability to share the article with friends, save their favorite articles to an article account they set up, link to other articles like the article they just read, rate the article and post comments of the article they read. I am very aware that some of these sketches need a little, or a lot , more help compositionally.
