Graphic design has evolved over time, it use to be all print, lots of newsletters, advertising and brochures. Today the graphic designer needs to grow in a new direction -- electronic. And not just websites but also Email Templates, magazines and brochures that can be emailed or downloaded. The Adobe Acrobat PDF changed how we print and output our designs and now we are making the next step into EPUB and eBooks.
The newest version of Adobe InDesign is addressing this in a big way. Now the design of your brochure will translate into an EPUB specifically formatted to be read on an iPad (or other pad device) or smart phone. InDesign gives me, the designer, the ability to export to the EPUB format and to specify how the content will be viewed on your mobile device. Of course, it also enables the EPUB to contain audio, video (we can even control the poster frame), we can skin the video with a controller, 360 degree viewing of an image, zoom control on images and more. We even have the ability to create covers and title pages that will display in iBooks.
I am very excited about the new direction graphic design is taking and I can’t wait to get started! I'll keep you posted on my progress.
