Our Monthly Magazine’s New Rich-Media Edition Online

SEMA News-August 2009-VMag 01

A new virtual edition of SEMA News is now available online via SEMA’s website. Simply click on the magazine cover icon to access the fully interactive version of our latest issue. The complete issue is now at your fingertips, along with embedded video and a wide array of advanced viewing options.

Once you open the magazine from SEMA’s homepage, clicking the bottom right-hand corner of the cover will open the issue, and users can continue turning each page by clicking the right-hand corner of each spread.

Readers can also turn to specific stories by entering the page number in the bottom navigation bar or by clicking on the story from the Table of Contents page. The icon on the bottom-left corner allows readers to view a thumbnail map of the entire issue. And finally, if you’re looking for stories about a specific subject, simply enter keywords related to the subject in the search bar at the top right-hand corner of the screen.

SEMA News advertisers will now enjoy added bonus distribution of 150,000 with the digital version of each issue. Additionally, they can now purchase and insert an FLV-formatted video within their ad copy.

When a reader moves the cursor over certain elements in the magazine, a simple flash animation indicates that clicking the element will lead to more content. In this example, the lead image fades in-and-out to signal to the reader that clicking the image will redirect them to a webpage with more information about the article’s subject.

Often the keyword will trigger multiple search returns, and readers can scroll through the pop-up window for the most relevant content based on their inquiry. Clicking on the thumbnail takes the reader directly to that page.

Ferrari F450

Ferrari has confirmed that the replacement for its F430 will be dubbed the 458 Italia. The 4.5L V8-powered prancer, pictured here in shots from spy photographer Brenda Priddy, is reported to have the highest specific power output of any road car in the world at 127 hp per liter. Doing the math, that's a hair over 570 hp at a screaming 9,000 RPM.

It's expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
