I am a graduate student at Rice University, working towards a Master's in Science Teaching.
This blog is to serve as a video log showing processes involved in creating a public education outreach app on Antarctica.
This video log documents some of my efforts during my graduate project.

v. 2: Working with Multi-Orientation

Second major version of mockup

This version of the mockup was transferred to a local iPad as a testing & development app. It was presented to my advisor on the actual iPad as the developer app. No major content generated at this point. However, successful implementation of the multiple-orientation features in Adobe InDesign as well as a few InDesign Digital Publishing Suite features.

Nearly all features behaved as intended, and only minor changes were needed for functionality.

Initial Mockup

Discussion of a mockup for a public education outreach app on Antarctica. 

This mock up is created with Adobe InDesign CS6. It utilizes digital publishing tools for Android and iPad tablets new to Adobe Indesign in CS5.5 & CS6. The first couple iterations of this version have not been test on the iPad.

This version of the app was emailed as a Flash .swf file to my supervisor/advisor. It was intended to have a video at the start, but apparently they don't embed themselves into the .swf flash file, however, in actual app files it can be embedded. The idea of having a video was later removed due to other concerns.
