Who says print can’t be interactive? More and more innovative companies prove that dividing the world into interactive and print media is arbitrary at best. A recent example: Novalia, a British award-winning technology company that makes interactive print products that play music and connect wirelessly to digital devices. Out of the lab came a new album cover that scratches, spins and mixes like a DJ when touched.
