InDesign Interactivity & Animation (334)

 
  • Class Highlights:
    Quickly and easily create interactive and animated graphics without all the unpleasantness of working in Flash. You will learn how to use InDesign to create animated and interactive projects such as on-line advertising and infographics for Flash-driven content in web browsers and PDFs. You will create many real-world projects with surprising ease and speed.
  • Class Description:
     This class focuses on InDesign’s new Interactive Workspace.
    • Using the Animation Panel you will employ motion presets and create custom motion paths. You will control animations using event triggers, play controls, variable opacity, visibility controls, scaling, and rotation.
    • Using the Timing Panel you will sequence multiple animation events (without need of a timeline).
    • Using the Media Panel you will add audio and video content and control how it is triggered and plays.
    • Using the Object States Panel you will produce multi-state objects to create such much-in-demand effects as rollovers and slideshows.
    • You will export your creations into a variety of delivery formats such as interactive PDFs, web-ready SWFs, and Flash-compatible FLAs.

    Why InDesign?

    InDesign has been most publisher’s tool of choice for many years and Adobe wants to keep it that way. Building on their considerable experience with animation and interactive software, Adobe has added to InDesign CS5+ a powerful set of interactive tools. These new tools transform InDesign into a powerful cross-media layout tool for both print and interactive projects.

    TJP&A has carefully examined InDesign’s capabilities and compared them to alternatives. We conclude this addition to InDesign’s already strong layout, typographic, and drawing capabilities is a significant development. InDesign’s new interactive features not only meet most publisher’s needs, but do so in a way that non-programmers can readily learn.

    This is an important development for those who have found Flash is not their cup of tea or that Flash development takes too long and costs too much. These new capabilities are an economical and effective way to achieve every publisher’s vital need to maintain future relevance.

    The Digital Publishing Revolution is upon us, join us to revitalize your future.

    A sad note: InDesign produces SWF files, which work fine on desktop browsers, but do not work on tablets like the iPad. If your projects require animations that work with both desktop and tablet browsers see Rich Media with Edge Animate. We are sad because this class was a lot of fun for both students and teacher. We hope that Adobe will eventually catch up to current standards.
