On the day, the general editor Richard Stengel called for the forresting groups, the design department and website-operating department to have a conference. And the make of ipad was put on the agenda formally. Josh KuiTurner had started a life of creating ipad.
In the first few days when the project officially started, in order to simulate iPad user`s experience, DW Pine, "Time" magazine director designer Pine made an iPad model with cardboard and glue. Put the printed simulated pictures in the middle of cardboard so as to feel the result of touch-scroll screen. These simulated pictures were still glued on the wall of Quittner`s office as yet.

In the iPad, the "The Moment" part has been expanded into six full-screen image, becoming the extension of the"Weekly Photo" of "Time" magazine website. In text, the photo proportion of iPad was also greatly enhanced.
