When Remi Paringaux, former creative director of Dazed & Confused and Vogue Japan, teamed up with Alex Dellal, curator and owner of gallery space 20 Hoxton Square, the pair set out to create a publishing house with a difference. MERI Media was founded to provide a luxury iPad publishing service, working with high-end brands to help them produce dedicated digital iterations of their content.

Following on from the work we undertook designing a framework on which MERI Media’s customers could publish content, Remi and Alex approached great fridays looking to develop their own publication destined for the iPad.

POST was produced in response to a gap that existed in the digital publication market, with many publishers opting to simply transfer content over to digital versions of their magazine or newspaper. POST contains a wealth of highly adaptable and media rich experiences that traditional forms of media would have difficulty replicating. The glossy, editorial style magazine features fashion, music, films, art and science in one comprehensive issue. 

great fridays provided XD advice and planning for MERI Media, as well as the build and component testing of all publications. The Framework was written using Cocoa Touch Objective C, and the content was described using bespoke XML based mark-up. 

Since its launch, POST has proved to be a huge success, featuring in Apple's 'App of the Week' and 'New and Noteworthy' categories, and also receiving a 'Mobile of the Day' award from the Favourite Website Awards.

"Many magazines on the iPad are simply reformatting print content. This magazine is intended to provide a bespoke and beautifully packaged experience for the user"
