Project 5.5 Interactive Brochure Reflection Journal

In this assignment, I created a interactive brochure from the brochure created in the previous project. First up, I opened Adobe InDesign to open Project 5's brochure document. I clicked on the image of the document to open the project in fullscreen. Once I clicked on the image, the computer transports me to the document itself. All the work previously done has been saved and shown on the document. Next, I clicked the middle text box from the second page of Project 5. I held the mouse button and dragged the text box away from the background. Then, I clicked the background to select it. I clicked from the InDesign bar Window, to Interactive, to Animations to show a pop-up window that I was able to animate the background. I clicked fly in from bottom to have the background go down. I did the same with the other half of the background but this time I clicked fly in from the top. After that, I put back the textbox back to its original place. I clicked the text box, gone to the InDesign bar, clicked Window, to Interactive, and then to Animations to show the pop-up window once again. I clicked appear to have the text animated to be appearing from the document. Thereafter, I clicked on the text box that was in front of the fire and did the same thing as the previous step. I clicked bounce for the animation, used the Direct Selection tool to adjust the pathway of the bounce, and moved the text box down a little using the Move tool to create a fluid animation. For the textbox with the question marks, I selected the zoom animation from the animation pop-up box. I clicked appear for the textbox from the green background for the animation to make the textbox spin in a circle. Therefore, I clicked on the first page of the document. I selected the logo for the brochure, clicked Window from the InDesign bar, clicked Interactive from Window, and clicked Animations to place an animation for the logo. I clicked appear for the logo to make the logo appear. After that, I selected the author's text box under the logo and repeated the steps from last time again. I chose spin for the animation. I selected the gallop animation from Interactive for the textbox on the upper left hand corner of the first page of the document. Lastly, I clicked inside the middle text box and selected all the links via the Text tool, clicked Window, Interactive, to Hyperlinks to make all the links highlighted so that you can click on the links yourselves, went to Animations, and made the textbox grow and shrink. I saved the now animated document as a PDF and SWF (SFW not shown due to capability problems with blogger).
