In effort to maintain a very magazine-y feel, we’ve been careful to not to go overboard purely for the sake of it, aiming instead for an immersive experience perfectly suited to the iPad.

The Total Film Interview exemplifies this approach. It opens on a classy portrait, with the words tucked neatly at the bottom of the screen, just waiting for you to drag them up to read. From there you can skim through the Lifeline and expand the star turns (as well as, y’know, reading the interview).
