Bu kursa neler dahil?
Start by familiarizing yourself with the work of Sergio Ortiz as he talks about what kinds of projects he usually takes on and what his areas of expertise are. He also talks about his influences and what inspires him from day to day.
Leave conventional hard-copy editorial standards at the door and immerse yourself in the world of interactive publications. Get to know the characteristics of digital browsing, the key aspects of UI and UX, and the use of typography for different devices.
Then get ready to try out InDesign and the free plugin Bütton. Begin with its installation and discover how to arrange workflows and different files in order to facilitate the export of your project.
Now it's time to get stuck in! Sergio introduces you to action and navigation icons, teaches you to personalize your workspace, and explains how to animate images, illustrations, and texts.
Delve yet deeper into everything this plugin has to offer by taking a look at special actions or Touch, the two options for image positioning, ways to add sound, and a handful of other tools for taking your publication to the next level.
Finish up by exporting your project, and let Sergio explain the differences between Single App and Kiosk, what each is used for, and some examples to help you decide which is best for your project.

The course if very informative and well paced. However I am stuck on adding articles . please help, when I add a page or an article it simple adds it at the bottom as if it's a additional page in the main article. I am not able to add new articles which would be activated by swiping right. Thank you Daniel
