Embedded Twitter Feed
Embedded Youtube video



















The main technical skill I learnt during this process was how to embed interactive elements to my magazine. I added a Youtube video and a Twitter feed which took along time to work out how to add them. I looked at tutorials and videos on the internet to finally get them to work. I also had to keep testing them on the iPad content viewer because that is what I am designing. In the screenshot the embedded video and Twitter looked like they don't work but on an iPad they do.

When creating both orientations of my magazine I found that the easiest way to may it fit both was to create one orientation then copy and paste it into the other orientation. Then I could rearrange the layout so that it would fit. On page two I deleted the twitter feed from because it didn’t fit. In my final magazine design I probably would have to fit everything in both orientation because it means that some readers might miss some content if they were only viewing it in one orientation.


I found the workflow easy and I understand the process using the folio builder and then viewing it on content viewer on the iPad.
