Responsive Web Design For Libraries: Beyond The Mobile Web, Matthew Reidsma

Books and Contributions to Books

A responsive website adapts to each users' device, changing its presentation through fluid grids, scalable images, and CSS3 media queries. I give an introduction to responsive design, and then walk through converting the Grand Valley State University Libraries website to be responsive, so that looks great on every device and eliminates the need to maintain separate websites for "desktop" and "mobile" devices, while offering equal access to all.

The Magazine Industry Is Becoming Mobile, Alex Maxwell

Graphic Communication

Are magazine publications seeing an increase in profits since the rise of the mobile magazine application? My investigation focused on magazine publications that feel that producing their product for use on a tablet is worth the increase in resources. These applications allow the consumer to read their purchase on an array of electronic tablets, which are arguably beneficial for magazine publications in the future.

This study helped me discover that “developing a digital replica of a magazine is extremely cost effective because postage and material costs are no longer required.” (H. Glassie, Senior Project - Alex Maxwell, January 14, 2013) …

Natural Dimension Vii - Part 1, Sue Kalab

Landscapes: the Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language

My endeavour is to catch that tenderness, the expression, the indescribable element that gives the beauty to the moment of the image. Energy, interest, and that ‘other’- the magical ingredient that makes a work art. My intention is not just to show the fluffy white cuteness of the seven cygnets, but to particularly illustrate the devotion of the parent birds.
