Oke, nu al een paar dagen in dit geweldige magazine aan het bladeren en kan maar 1 ding zeggen: Wow!

Dit is echt super! Allemaal boeiende onderwerpen en fenomenale foto's uit Valencia maar ook van bijv. Adelfia en bijv. Malta.

Bedankt hiervoor.

"Helaas" geen iPad, dus ik moet nog even geduld hebben voor de Android versie. Previews zien er wel erg mooi uit!

Dear Pyrotechnic friends.

Big fanfare!!! We have been working hard on the Android version of the magazine which is now complete

But unfortunately we are having a few technical problems with some pages - where links within the them are not working. We are liaising with our supplier to resolve these issues on the Android version before we realise it to you.

Please bear with us and we will post a link up as soon as we have the download link available.

Have a fantastic weekend and if you are firing or working on a display this weekend be safe and keep your powder dry

Bijna is het zover!
Hopelijk vandaag kunnen we de volledige android versie publiceren.
Helaas hebben we een behoorlijke tijd moeten wachten op de makers van de app. We kregen te maken met een BUG die ze niet 1,2,3 konden oplossen. De HD versie van het magazine staat al wel online en we hebben een aantal mensen gevraagd deze te testen. Dit is tot nu toe zeer goed gegaan.

Vanmiddag gaat dan hopelijk de SD versie ook in de upload waarna we de Android release zullen aankondigen.

Ps. Maak je niet druk om welke versie jij moet downloaden. Je hebt maar keus uit 1 en het systeem bepaald aan de hand van jou tablet welke versie je download.

Meer info volgt later vandaag.

Dear Pyro friends...

Finally, a little later than we had wished, we are able to announce that the magazine can now be read on Android tablets, 2560x1600 or 1280x800 res versions, via Google Play. Please use the link below to download your FREE copy now.

We are really sorry that this has taken so many weeks longer than expected. Unfortunately we have had a few technical issues with the supplier we use to publish the magazine and discovered a problem with their system when outputting to 1280x800 files from our 2560x1600 pages we had made up for the Android tablet. These issues have now been resolved and both Apple and Android versions will be available at the same time for Issue Two of the magazine

Please enjoy looking through the magazine and we welcome all of your feedback. If you have any ways you think we could improve or add to the experience please let us know. If you have any ideas or photographs of events or festivals that you think would be ideal for us to report on please email Tony on tony@pyrotechnicmagazine.com Thank you in advance.

Finally if you would like to advertise your company or event in the next issue please visit our website here >>> http://www.pyrotechnicmagazine.com/advertise_rate_card.html for our rate cards.

Please now go and enjoy the magazine

Kind regards,

Jason & Tony

Vanwaar alleen support voor Android en iPad tablets?

Goed design van het blad (de enkele pagina's wat ik gezien heb). Kan hem helaas niet checken want heb geen iPad of Android tablet.

Omdat wij dit de twee beste opties vinden.
We moeten voor elke device het magazine compleet opnieuw designen en dat kost veels te veel tijd.

Hier nog een uitgebreide uitleg die we hebben gegeven op onze facebook pagina.

***REASONS WHY WE HAVE CHOSEN THE FORMATS WE HAVE FOR VIEWING PYROTECHNIC MAGAZINE***

Dear Readers,

Thanks for the comments and thoughts about where this magazine should be seen and viewed. We really have enjoyed producing this first issue and we hope everyone enjoys the way the digital publication is designed and looks along with its diverse content!

I have been in the design and print industry for many many, too many to be honest, years along side owning and running my own firework company. I have worked, and still do, with traditionally designed and printed magazines which are then turned into PDF magazines that can be viewed on the internet as page turn publications using the PDFs from the magazine. This is NOT what we wanted to produce for this magazine. We wanted to produce something that was new, exciting, dynamic and never been done within our firework industry before. The magazine layout is not like a traditional magazine, the publication will never be printed. In some cases the page designs may look like a printed magazine page but the key is with digital magazine designs you have an infinite canvas to work with. With scrolling text and slideshows combined with links to other mediums such as videos and photos all seen from within the same App that you never actually leave. All of this is just not possible in traditional print magazines that are then turned into page turn PDFs for the web.

For now we will be sticking with Apple iPad Tablets and also Android Tablets. The reason for this is plain and simple, time!

The magazine is produced for an iPad at present and then all the files have to be converted and then re-laid out into a new Android grid for each page. This takes a fair amount of time and effort... well to be honest many many hours! We do this because we want the user experience to be as good on each platform and this is why we have for now just chosen Tablets only to work with. We end up with four versions of the magazine as it is, high res for HD Tablets and lower res for standard definition Tablets, for both Apple and Android. If we were to add Apple iPhones and also Android phones there would be even more work each issue to do. This is mainly down to the screen size of these phone devices. All the pages would have to be re-laid out again into single columns because we would want the design of the publication to fit the device it is being viewed on. Call us perfectionists but that’s how we want our magazine to viewed by the user, the best possible experience.

But, there is always a but, in saying all that if in the future the magazines advertising grows significantly and we feel it justifies the additional time being spent on it then we will produce the magazine for all devices including Kindle Fire as well through Amazon.

Also we have greater control of the publication with it being distributed through the iTunes store and also Google Play. We can see where in the world the publication is being downloading more and where we need to concentrate our efforts on publicising the magazine further. It’s amazing that the magazine has only been out a few days and we have had people contacting us from around the globe like India and the Far East already!

Tony and I are very very proud of what has been produced in this first issue and the response has been amazing from across the world! We really hope that this continues and look forward to bringing you firstly the Android version of the magazine and then the second Issue for both platforms at the start of September, later this year.

If you have any ideas or articles for the next issue please email either Tony - tony@pyrotechnicmagazine.com or myself, Jason - pyromag@flashpoint-fireworks.co.uk - many thanks.

Kind Regards,

Jason & Tony

Ja, alleen dit werkt alleen anders dan ons systeem.
Je hebt totaal een andere beleving. En daarbij het kost allemaal teveel tijd. Voor elk platform een magazine maken is gewoon niet te doen. Is wel te doen, alleen hebben we dan 5 man personeel nodig :)
