Nina Maya Magazine on iPhone

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!
