OUR AGREED TEXT IS:

___________________________________________

Ring around the Rosy

Pocket full of Posy

Ashes, Ashes,

We all Fall Down

RING AROUND THE ROSIE

One of the first visible signs of infection were red rings surrounding a rosy bump, all over the victim's body.

POCKET FULL OF POSY

A common belief of the time was that the plague was borne on "foul air." The rationale was that people could protect themselves from the bad air by keeping their local air smelling sweet. That, and it also helped them deal with the smell of death...

On the other hand, another sign of infection was the foul stench that would begin to emanate from the victim's body as their lymph system began filling with blood. Those still mobile endeavored to mask their stench and avoid detection by carrying flowers on their person

referred to the sweet herbs that people collected in pockets or pouches to carry with them in an attempt to prevent the disease. People believed the plague was transferred by bad smells so the posies were considered a beneficial ward against infection.

ASHES ASHES

The phrase ashes, ashes refers to the cremation of the dead. Nearly 60% of the population died from the bubonic plague. The disease was not halted until the Great Fire of London in 1666, which turned the rats who carried the disease into ashes.

The variation A-tishoo! A-tishoo refers to the terminal phases of the disease, in which victims would be hemorrhaging internally, sometimes triggering sneezing as it irritated the breathing passages. "Ashes" is a child's approximation of a paroxysm of sneezing. In this weakened state, a victim could, and often did, sneeze their lungs out. Messy...

WE ALL FALL DOWN

Falling down clearly refers to death.

ipad technology

To start out, I've found some videos describing the process behind magazines on the ipad. This first video describes the way some of the modern ipad magazines function:


iPad Magazine Art Direction from Brad Colbow on Vimeo.
.

And then, to get more practical, I link you to an early development of an ipad-type application. This may be the most important video I have with regards to User Interface movements - this may not be directly relevant to THIS project but I think it's very important to keep these concepts in mind re: the directional flow of information.

Lastly, here is the application of the Mag+ technology - Popular Science magazine on ipad.


Mag+ live with Popular Science+ from Bonnier on Vimeo.

These three videos may give us something to think about regarding the possibilities and UI of the ipad technology.
