Product Description

InDesign CS5 opens the door to a new world: with the addition of exciting animation tools and deeper multimedia support. It's now a viable interactive authoring tool. Designers want to create engaging interactive content, but may resist making the transition from page layout to timeline-based thinking. But now it's much easier: InDesign CS5's new interactive features are intuitive and easy to learn. And once they've mastered those tools in the familiar world of InDesign, they'll find that Flash isn't scary after all. Designers already know how to add text, graphics, and geometric shapes to a page in InDesign, it's a short walk to adding interactive features. Before they know it, they're creating Flash content.

5.0 out of 5 stars To Flash or Not To Flash, November 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fearless Flash: Use Adobe InDesign CS5 and the Tools You Already Know to Create Engaging Web Documents (Paperback)
Deciding whether to spend time with Flash in light of the current dust-up between Apple and Adobe is something no one should take lightly. Flash fanboys have their take on things but HTML5 seems to be gaining a LOT of traction. So should you get this book? If you do a lot of stuff in InDesign, I think it's well worth it. You'll not only get an solid footing into a product which, although it may change will likely not simply fall by the wayside, but you'll also learn bits and pieces about the publishing product you may have never known. (Design Libraries? Wow....) As more and more often, we are expected to move print-designed material to the web, this is an excellent way to learn some of the current methodologies - and, as usual, this author is one who can make you feel SO comfortable as you do so.

This review is from: Fearless Flash: Use Adobe InDesign CS5 and the Tools You Already Know to Create Engaging Web Documents (Paperback)
Fearless Flash is a first great step towards learning how to use InDesigns interactive tools. After learning the basics, the book takes you through a step by step process to build your own real world projects. I would recommend this book to anyone starting out or curious about how to build interactive documents with InDesign.
