Third Wave Fashion // JANUARY 2014 // THE CONTENT + COMMERCE ISSUE | Page 16

THE WORLD AROUND US MARKETING WIRED GETS INTERACTIVE WITH MOTO X e tech magazine took interactive ads to a new level with their January issue. Featuring a plexiglass page with a customizable MOTO X phone, the ad allows readers to change the color of the phone between 11 color options. ough there were only 150,000 copies made, it’s exciting to see print push the limit of interaction. ENGADGET BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTS SHOULD LOOK BEAUTIFUL WHAT COLOR IS THAT Product photography can be time consuming, but StyleShoots debuted their horizontal, vertical and magic mannequin, to create beautiful images for ecommerce sites. By combining professional camera equipment and easy-to-use iPad controls, the system allows small businesses to develop product pages that look as good as if they were outsourced. STYLESHOOTS ere’s no substitute for beautiful colors, and SwatchMate understands that. Recreating color that is inspiring was next to impossible because cameras capture ambient light that washes out and lightens colors, but this one touch device steals color directly from the objects you touch it to. e SwatchMate is bluetooth enabled and saves the color in three formats, making it possible to take home colors from anywhere.
