Spanish Magazine “Revista Don” Uses Aquafadas’ Award-Winning Digital Publishing System to Create a Visually Stunning Interactive World
Montpellier, France (PRWEB) April 24, 2014 -- Aquafadas, developer of digital publishing solutions, applauds eZine Revista Don on its prodigious success in the Apple App Store and Google Play. After only two months on the market, the sleek Spanish publication, developed with the Aquafadas Digital Publishing System, was selected as one of the App Store’s “Best of 2013.” It has since developed into a globally enjoyed digital magazine with thousands of downloads each month.
Revista Don is a lifestyle magazine predominantly targeted toward the male market, featuring interactive infographics, links to online stores, videos and more. It was first envisioned by The Tab Gang, an assemblage of former editors from Spanish publication powerhouses such as Esquire, FHM and GQ. Javier Moya, previously digital editor for Esquire in Spain, says their aim was to create “the first Spanish magazine available on the two main digital tablet newsstands: App Store and Google Play.”
“Revista Don is a native tablet magazine,” Moya continues. “It isn’t a static PDF of an analog magazine. It’s a magazine only for tablets – an interactive and multimedia magazine that is fresh and dynamic with plenty of videos with a lot of interactive surprises.”
Such interactive surprises begin from the first click, where a video connected with the magazine’s cover image immediately transports readers into the visually stunning world of Revista Don. From there, readers are provided with a multi-faceted reading experience through audiovisual articles and images stocked with humor, music and, often times, further interaction.
Aquafadas’ Digital Publishing System was recommended to the team at Revista Don by a colleague in the Spanish editorial industry. They quickly discovered that the system provided the tools they needed to create their desired user experience. “Our designers used the tool before deciding on it and said it was one of the best on the market,” Moya says. “The good price is one of the main features. Overall, Aquafadas’ Digital Publishing System lets us do many things. It’s very complete.”
Revista Don will soon be enhanced further with Aquafadas’ MotionComposer and Analytics Connect. The team is looking forward to reaching new milestones with each edition, and Aquafadas commends Revista Don on its continued success in the digital publishing industry.
To experience the visually stimulating world of Revista Don, please download your free subscription at Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
