All about MRH Gen2
W
e’ve been talking a lot about our new MRH
Generation 2 format, and now you’re looking at it!
The changes we’ve made make the magazine easier
than ever to read on mobile devices like smartphones and 7”
tablets. Along the way, it sets the stage for our eventual move
away from the PDF format completely and to the more device-
independent and more feature-rich HTML5 format.
The HTML5 move has yet to happen because it’s still slightly
too bleeding edge for us to make the plunge just yet. However,
with our move from our previous format (we’re calling it Gen1)
now to Gen2, we have also introduced a more mobile-friendly
online provider: Flippingbook rather than ISSUU.
As you can see, we’ve split the page down the middle and
we’ve increased our body font size by 20%. We’ve also stream-
lined our page formatting to make it less busy and have a bit
more “white space” around things. This all should make MRH
easier to read on smaller mobile device screens.
