Interactive pdf workshop - Thursday 2nd February

I could not post the final outcome of this workshop as it is not compatible with blogger however I have posted some screenshots of the process and screens which I can explain what the general idea is. The different colour squares on the piece are not aesthetically pleasing however it made it easier to make then distinguishable as most of us were relatively new to the software. The larger squares are buttons used to perform function on the video, for example one makes it play, one stops it and so on. The play style button and the circular fading out button were both experiments to show that you can make any shape into a button. The green hatched square represents music or audio which was set up using the tool shown in the other screenshot with the speaker on and their is a similar one for the video set up also pictured. The other screenshot shows the set up of one of the buttons, the three different coloured dots shown are how the button reacts to different actions so when you hover over the button it will turn blue and when clicked it will be red. This workshop was very beneficial and is something that I have now implemented into the pdf for my next project.
