Anyone notice the tiny, but crucial difference in this issue? A to B may look the same, but we’ve resized from A5 to a similar width, but with a 4:3 aspect ratio, resulting in a slightly shorter page.Yes, once again, it’s all about those pesky computer screens, and Apples decision to go for this screen shape. If you’re viewing this on an iPad, the change should mean that the page number is visible on the screen without scrolling. If it doesn’t, we have more work to do! Finally, don’t worry about paper disappearing. By adapting to this new digital age, the paper magazine should now be future-proofed. It’s difficult predicting these things, but we have a hunch that other larger-format magazines may follow us down the 4:3 route.
