These two project I really had fun with because I was able to create and interactive experience using Mag+. I had never used this program before, or should I say plugin. But I found it very interesting and very useful in the world today. The user always is looking for a way to be entertained. Instead of just reading information Mag+ has created the ability to interact with the information.

For my first project it was very basic due to my limited knowledge of Mag+. But I was able to create an article about my favorite basketball player and take the reader through his journey during his continuing basketball career. Using different layers I was able to ad scrolling features and also pop-ups to reveal more information or give the user a closer look. I had fun with this because I was able to add things that I would like to see in a digital publication and that I would use if I were to find it. Click the below link and view on the Designd app.

This second project was of course better than the first because I was able to have learned more about Mag+ and its capabilities. I chose to create an ibook featuring the highest paid athletes of this last year. Each player has their own individual bio and there are many pop-up and sliding options to view more about the athlete. Also, in this project I again wanted to add more to the experienced than I did to the first project so I decided to create the beginning intro into the book as an animation. So I went into Hype 3.0 and from prior knowledge of the program was able to create an cool intro to the book.
