In addition to my usual workload while at Game Informer, I tasked with leading the reboot of the mobile platform magazine. Some of the requirements is that it of course have a great user experience but that is also function for many phone types, function internationally, low internet connections, and behind a subscription wall.
About the magazine
Game Informer is an American monthly video game magazine featuring articles, news, strategy, and reviews of video games and associated consoles. It debuted in August 1991 when video game retailer FuncoLand started publishing an in-house newsletter. The publication is now owned and published by GameStop, who bought FuncoLand in 2000. Due to this, a large amount of promotion is done in-store, which has contributed to the success of the magazine. As of June 2017, it is the 5th most popular magazine by copies circulated. Starting from the 2010s, Game Informer has transitioned to a more online-based focus.
Total circulation (2017): 7,585,296
