Offscreen Magazine — Issue 14
For Issue No14 we had the pleasure of talking to Canadian photographer and app maker Lisa Bettany about her continual App Store success story; Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia tells us about the past, present, and future of a company that‘s forever changed the experience of travel; Professor of Game Design, Robin Hunicke, opens up about the highs and lows of making indie games; and mindfulness advocate Rohan Gunatillake gives practical advice for a healthy lifestyle that doesn’t shun technology.
My favourite magazine, plus it’s Australian made.
