This biographical iPad application was developed for one of the biggest media houses in Croatia (Styria Croatia). Its current issue supports 14 chapters of the Josip Broz Tito biography. The client wanted the user to experience a more fluid navigation through all 14 chapters of the book.

Biggert challange was to develop the navigation which would entice users to read more than the first issue of the biography and I didn't want that the app looks generic like the other book reading apps.

I played with various navigation styles and decided to design the app based on the landscape oriantation of the device. That decision was made so all the multimedia content (like videos) within the books can be emediately consumed without need to switch the oriantation of the device. 

Also the chapter picker from the home screen of the app gives user a glimpse into the content of each book in form of the cover photo. 

Finding the right navigation style. I was trying to sketch some of the navigation styles that could work with the content.

After I decided on the navigation style I mapped all the screens and user flows between them. 

Design of the screens was hugely inspired by the actual photos from the book. I wanted to use the iconography from that time and incorporate it into every screen. 

Splash screen and Chapter picker. Intro to the app and chapter picker where you can see which chapters you purchased. 

Read the chapter. Quick chapter navigation and smooth 3D transition into the chapter content. 

Rich multimedia content. Exclusive photos, videos and audio recordings are available in the app.
