Try Out in InDesign

During the weekend, I try to create some content in InDesign for tryout.

First, I create a document which I choose digital publishing and choose ipad, as the magazine that we going to create will be view in ipad.

Then I start to build in the content.

Then I preview it in content viewer. It can be scroll up and down, but when the mouse release, it will go back to it's same position which is the upper part. So I will have to tryout another ways to make it scrollable.

I also have tried to adjust the margin to see the difference between setting up margin and without setting up margin, but it seems that there's not much difference....

Feedback on Group Leader

During working with our group leader, Jared Yap for 3 weeks, he manage the time quite well and organize the work for us quite well. His work is also good and he provide really good ideas about the assignment and make sure all the group members submit their work on time.

Now it's time to choose a new leader!

Strength and Weakness of Each Group Member

After working with my group member, Jared Yap, Nathania and Spencer Koh for six week, I happy working with the three of them as they are very efficient and submit the work on time, so I don't really worried about the time management. At the same time, I also realize some pros and cons in them.

Jared Yap:
He is a fast thinker and very creative in our group, while we were thinking of an idea, he already come out with an idea, he done his work efficiently and will the first one who upload to Facebook page. And sometimes he is quite blur and not get into the situation, but this not happen often.

Nathania:
She is very hard working and willing to accept any criticism regarding her work, and she have a really good sense of graphic and her work is good. She also will post her work on time on Facebook page. But one weakness about her is she can indecisive regarding her work, when we say something up to you, she will hesitate and don't know what to do for a moment. But she still manage to get her job done.

Spencer Koh:
He is the most quiet person in our group, but he also give some good ideas regarding assignment. Even though his work is not good and not bad, average, but he will post his work on time to Facebook page for us to have a look at it. However, I realize that sometimes he is quite impatient when doing something that is repeating and not getting the result.

Video Reference for Cover and Content Page

To show the example of how our cover page and content page going to looks like when in the form of interactive magazine, we have created a short animation of cover and content page.

The animation for cover page done by Nathania, whereas the content page done by Jared Yap.

This is the animation for cover page. After several of comments and feedback from our group, Nathania manage to create this short animation. I think the timing is good, but there are some pause between the movement. But overall is good.

This is the animation for content page, created by Jared Yap. The picture at the top left will change at some time, and the content which at the top right, will change when the reader click on the content that they wanted to read.
