The Nina Maya Magazine looks wesome on the iPhone! It was thrilling to
work with Nina so closely and see her process. First, she actually
created the magazine on paper, by cutting out little squares with the
concept on it. So crazy. It was like a physical magazine. Then from
there we worked on the concept in digital and changed certain things
and expanded the ideas she had made on paper. It was so funny to watch
her do PS3 Photoshop because she knew things that I did not know
about, shortcuts, and ways of getting the same effect I would have
done it differently and used different tools. Very funny. We both did
not like how now in PS3 it opens the photos in tabs instead of
individual windows. It was very tedious to click the tabs and I could
not work as fast and arrange the photos on the screen. They were stuck
together. I wish I knew how to get that view back, Adobe.
None the less, at the end it was so funny: I'd do a task, then Nina
would take over and complete the task because I didn't have the brain
power. Then she would not know how to do an effect and I would take
over the computer again and do the effect. At the end end, it was like
musical chairs.
The other thing that happened is that suddenly when we were testing
it, Vodafone shut off her service -- no 3G service suddenly for anyone
in the room with Vodafone. I have noticed that another time with
Telstra when they shut off my friend's phone system. My other friend
Bill, who cut my hair, his Bigpond internet service got stopped cuz he
didnt pay the bill, and now he has to not only pay the 35 dollars that
he slipped, but a 200$ reconnection fee! For me to recharge my OPTUS
prepaid card online with a credit card, it took me 3 weeks to finally
get the OPTUS page to load. I had to call their customer service so
many times, clear the cache, kill my history, oh it was a run around
like you never saw. Why would I put all that effort to pay with a
credit card? Because then I get 1400 free text messages as a bonus.
Was it worth it? Only to be able to email the Mobile Magazines around
to everyone!
