I had decided for this part of the project I wanted to create an E-Book rather than a website. While I could have done a website, I felt it would just be a 1:1 recreation of the prototype with less compromises so was a less interesting project to me. Because of the amount of animation and motion in my prototype, I thought converting it to an E-Book would be more interesting and a better challenge. Also, the style of my prototype lent itself to a book format.

Setting up the Paper

To start off thinking about converting my prototype to an E-Book, I wanted to think about the page size for my E-Book. My prototype would have lent itself to being a landscape book, however, I wanted to challenge myself and use a portrait layout. This would also allow for better spreads across pages which is something I wanted to focus on after my research. I set up an A4 page with a 3 column layout, then began thinking about how each screen would translate to pages.

How Do I Adapt This?

• Have Saturn V spread across full width spread
• Make paragraphs more explicitly sectioned
• Move animation to single spread
