What is the equation of work reports and the children's stories? In many occasions, both can be made and delivered with the help of Microsoft PowerPoint, or other similar software. There is nothing wrong with this kind of software. However, in addition to focusing on the contents, you also need to give attention on animations and transitions of each object (image, textbox, etc.). Without animations and transitions, indeed the presentation can still take place, but it might look boring in the eyes of the audience.
Responding seriously about the visual design, Adobe wants to
provide an easier alternative to the storytellers, both who are struggling in
the business segment, education and entertainment. They release a new
application for the iPad called Adobe Slate.
With Adobe Slate, you only need to focus on contents, i.e.
images and text. First of all, you need to select one of magazine themes
(layout) provided. Write a title, and select an image as a cover - could from
the Camera Roll, or from Creative Cloud, Lightroom and Dropbox. You can also
take a picture that's stored in the Adobe Creative Commons database.
Furthermore, you only need to add text and other images at
the bottom, forming a visual story with a sweet and elegant appearance. The
animations and transitions will be automatically taken care by Adobe Slate with
a professional touch. The concept offered by Adobe Slate is very simple, so
simple even you can't choose the fonts one by one - all is in one package of
various themes offered in the beginning.
After filling the content, Adobe Slate will publish it in
the form of web page with responsive design - hosted by Adobe - adjust to
various screen sizes, whether for smartphone, tablet or computer. Adobe Slate
is designed so that everyone can create interesting visual story without having
to undergo specific design course. This application can be downloaded for free
from the App Store and doesn't require Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.
