Timbuktu

Combining imaginative graphics and engaging news, the first iPad-only magazine specifically for children is born in Italy.

Timbuktu, the award-winning Italian design studio specializing in digital projects for children, has launched Timbuktu, the first digital magazine for children specifically designed for the iPad.

Timbuktu combines imagination and technology to display news, that are usually considered belonging only to adults, and stories through the most advanced methods of education. The interactive design is simple and clear, with full focus on content. The graphic style is brave and solid, with no distracting glitz. It is based on HMTL5 open web standards and it has been developed in collaboration with leading illustrators and designers from Milan, Berlin, San Francisco, Barcelona and New Delhi. Timbuktu was born as a collaboration of young designers, writers, photographers and illustrators working on communication projects for children.

The first issue of Timbuktu is about ice.
