On Mondays with John we learned how to create interactive pdf using just InDesign. In the first lesson we created a pdf with a few hot spots on it. Because I couldn't upload a pdf on my blog I filmed my screen just to show my final piece from this lesson. It has small thumbnail pictures of the left hand side the bigger image on the right and the button that helps to look through the images at the bottom. It looks like interactive picture album.
Later on we created an interactive piece using video instead of images. It is similar to the first piece that we created just instead of an arrows that helps to go through the images we put play and pause buttons and instead of the smaller images on the left hand side we put buttons that leads straight to certain part of the video. I used random video for this, because I just wanted to see how it works and didn't think to much about the video itself.
These are very simples pieces and are not very difficult to create, but it shows how many possibilities there are to create something more complicated using different media just in InDesign.
In the last lesson of InDesign we were shown how to create multi-state objects. Multi-state object: one page item, many versions. It is very similar to slideshow.
In the lesson we didn't create a big piece but I liked the idea and I made a bigger one at home. I used images from my fashion shoot, cropped them in squares and made like a puzzle. That is my final piece:
Because it was my fist try there are some white gaps between some of the images, if I were to make it again I would make sure to put the images without leaving any gaps.
