You might consider yourself an InDesign aficionado, but—

  • Have you mastered your folio overlays?
  • Can you create a complex multistate triggered by buttons or swiping?
  • Have you ever created a scrolling pull tab that will float a sidebar over the main page?
  • Do you know how to optimize your page real estate to create a truly interactive experience?

In TFP’s new Online Training Series, we’ll show you the five major steps to master overlay creation:

  1. How to mix and match multistates with buttons, swiping, autoplay, hyperlinks, and nested overlays.
  2. How to optimize video content as an embedded, in-app, or full-screen experience.
  3. How to use scrollable frames to create special effects—they’re not just for text anymore!
  4. How to leverage web content to create a truly dynamic app.
  5. How to combine overlays to make super overlays!

Learning the basic approaches to using the DPS overlay tools is essential to moving on to complex, compelling overlay creation. In TFP’s online training session Creating Interactive Folios With Adobe DPS, we’ll teach you every overlay type and review each feature and function so that you can fully understand the tools that are at your fingertips. We demonstrate these features all in one place so you can learn them quickly and start building apps fast.
