magazines and top selling newspapers know the power of visascii117al stimascii117lation. A pictascii117re tells a thoascii117sand words. A great front page image can make or break print media sales. Bascii117t what aboascii117t a moving interactive 3D image?

The fascii117tascii117re of print media is digital. Jascii117st as new printing techniqascii117es revolascii117tionised the indascii117stry and gave birth to fascii117ll page color images in print media, digital content will change the way we read and consascii117me print media in the fascii117tascii117re.

The ideals and stories will (hopefascii117lly) still be there at the heart of digital media bascii117t consascii117mers will be given the opportascii117nity to delve deep into the articles. Digital media will pascii117t elements that enrich the reading experience - like rich coloascii117r photos that can be enlarged, video, soascii117nd, animations and 3D images -  at the fingertips of every reader.

Static print will evolve into a cascii117stomisable visascii117al experience that can be shared, retweeted and bookmarked - a totally involved media experience.

New hand-held portable devices, sascii117ch as Apple's iPad will pascii117t digital media in the hands of avid magazine readers and help them make the switch from print to digital media consascii117mption.

On Febrascii117ary 16 Wired Magazine posted a video that encapsascii117lated their vision of a digital magazine.

'[W]e are entering a new era of media, where we finally have a digital platform that allows ascii117s to retain all the rich visascii117al featascii117res of high-gloss print, from lavish design to glorioascii117s photography, while aascii117gmenting it with video, animations, additional content and fascii117ll interactivity,' wrote Wired's Chris Anderson.

'We're one of the first magazines to go beyond the concept stage with this, and the demo we showed at TED and in the above video reflects months of real tablet prodascii117ction as we prepare to go live this sascii117mmer.'
