My team was granted a couple of months to explore creating a new magazine-like medium for our home decor website, Lonny. A major goal of the project was to preserve ideas that make magazines what they are (rich layouts, big imagery, editorial driven pacing) and to accent them with technology.

Here is our v1: http://www.lonny.com/mag/osWdLZXQXc7/May+2014

We would mostly classify ourselves as backend engineers, so for us the majority of the technical difficulty came from developing the front end. We used Backbone as our MVC framework and GSAP as our animation platform. It was our first large project with either library and we really enjoyed both of them.

All in all, it was a great project to work on and we thought you guys might enjoy seeing it, even if you don’t have any interest in home decor. We’d love to hear any feedback you have to offer!
