Last week I was in New Media hell. This week I can bask in that glory. Me and my fellow co-horts have re-started NYC24.
The homepage design is sleek and cool. Inside each issue you will find seven stories that revolve around a specific theme.
The theme for this issue is heights.
So me and my partner Ahmed Shihab-Eldin (a great multi-media journalist who was also my editor on the story about Digg for CJR) did our piece on the High Line — an unused railway in New York.
I really prefer working online. I’ve always been a fan of working with text. But on these projects text seems to fall in the background while we run around like chickens without a head trying to finish the flash interactives, photoshop files and dreamweaver layout.
It’s a lot of work. But all in all, well worth it.
Its done, and we did it right. I love the shout out, except you got 2/3. It’s “Shihab”…not that it matters.
Sorry dude — Bess was distracting me as I was writing this post. Can I blame her?
