I had added splashes of colour, the content, and even links to the pages from the first page. I was fairly proud of the product, until I got the feedback: 'where's the interactivity?'Flicking through my book, each page could've been printed. There was no consistent interactivity, so I came back and decided to add interactivity to every page. I made a list for me to follow.
I started with something simple - pictures. I wanted to be able to flick through images with arrows on a page, so I started with this tutorial. This tutorial shows you how to create a slideshow, and also how to add animations to text or boxes. I applied that technique to my 'skip this advert' boxes.
Adding more audio, video and links to pages were easy enough with the tools in InDesign. To be a little more creative and challenging I made my 'MUSIC' page interactive also. You can see how to the left.
Overall, I'm now pretty pleased with my book, and I just have to reflect upon it.
