Mirjam Wanner goes into the deep forest…

Ich gehe in den Wald hinein

Ich bin im Dickicht gelandet. Umgeben von Hölzern, Gräsern, Moos und Tannengeäst tun sich Wege auf, um im nächsten Augenblick wieder zu verschwinden. Formationen von Gestrüpp verführen mich und schicken mich weiter, neue zu entdecken. Phantasien, Phantasmen, Geräusche, Geknacke, geheime Wege und Verstecke. Alles ist möglich. Rastlos verweile ich hier. An diesem verrückten Ort, wo niemand ist ausser mir und ein paar wilden Tieren.

WHEN E-MEDIA IS ACTUALLY DESIGNED AS E-MEDIA IT BECOMES A GREEN, INTERACTIVE AND COST EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO PRINTING.

Amazon Ecomedia offer an alternative to companies currently printing magazines, brochures, reports and catalogues etc. Many companies fail to grasp the full advantages of e-media because they put online something that’s not been designed for that purpose. This means that when their ‘online brochure’ is viewed (often using page-flip technology or scrolling PDFs) it is difficult to read and certainly not user friendly. This is because the viewing area on a screen is obviously far smaller than the printing specifications (usually A4) the brochure was designed to.

 

Amazon Ecomedia are a full service supplier, we design and format e-media specifically to be read on a standard size monitor so the reader does not need to constantly zoom in or move the page around. The combination of designing your e-media in this way and using our e-media software often means there is then no need to have a printed version. We can offer a full design, editing, and formatting service to companies wishing to embrace the latest digital magazine and online brochure technology.
