In our first workshop we looked at interactive magazines on the ipad. We split up in to smaller groups of 3-5 people. This way it was much easier to try out interactions on the ipad. In the bigger group we then presented the different ways that we came across on how you could interact with the magazines and talked about how they are/aren’t useful.

So far so easy! The skill we’ll be learning is to create our own interactive magazines. However, before we could start animating we had to come up with an idea and concept. Luckily we are working in groups. My group decided to go for a student food magazine. Foodent! (yes, clever name isn’t it). We divided the work up in to particular parts so that I am now in charge of the cover and the content page. You can see my ideas below:

We’ll be using InDesign to create and animate our magazines. We decided to put together our ideas before the next workshop so that we can finish our work as soon as possible. Using InDesign but the wrong dimensions I came up with the digital version of my idea.
