A screen magazine, since Dec. 2000.
PREFACE
The early days of tiger
tiger magazine was conceived in 2000 as one of the project ideas at an art school by a Japanese graphic designer during his stay in Germany. It was one of the earliest magazines to present a spread-like page layout on digital devices using FLASH technology by Macromedia, which was flourishing at the time.tiger continued to be published up to issue 33, but as is well known, the technology of FLASH was being phased out in the internet world, and tiger went into hibernation.
Afterward
Subsequently, thanks to the advancement of new technologies such as HTML5 and JavaScript, the previous SWF-format contents can now be reproduced in the same form as before, and have been stored in the Back Number Archive. These are still available for viewing today.
Then
tiger did consider a relaunch in its original form, but as times changed, new ways of filtering and selecting information emerged, and peopleโs values and choices became more diverse. The role that tiger once played as a medium was rooted in the cultural and technological context of its initial publication, and thus, a new form of information expression was being explored.What's on now
With the deepest gratitude to all the past contributors and the media who have taken notice of tiger, it is now being reborn in a new form. This new tiger will shed the traditional magazine format and will not conform to the conventional models of internet media either. Instead, it will become a new kind of platformโone that allows us to update content in a way that feels natural, enjoyable, and true to ourselves.
And so, tiger is about to be reborn as a new animal.
And so, tiger is about to be reborn as a new animal.
