We Design Stories: The Digital Fiction of Six to Start

«One of the worst things you can do to a book is drag it online and just put it there, with no attention to web-based reading habits, possibilities for interaction or innovative design.

Continuing the “six” theme, they used six different Web 2.0 platforms through which to tell the stories, which were released across six weeks.»
