PSFK and Russell Davies on making a magazine:
PSFK: What could we do to keep the paper interactive? For example, do we add QR codes to allow people to ‘see more’ (such as an accompanying video)?
RD: Why make it interactive? The world’s not short of interactive things. Just make it good at what it is.
PSFK: And how can me make it a social experience? What could we do to add a meta-layer above the printed page which allows likeminded readers to connect around content?
RD: As above.
