WoodWing Starts Nationwide Workshop Tour on Tablet Publishing
Tuesday 22. March 2011 - With more than 200 titles worldwide now using its Tablet Publishing Solution to publish to the iPad and other tablet devices, WoodWing Software has become the global leader in this booming market. Publishers looking to create their own tablet magazine can now learn how.
WoodWing is sponsoring the Tablet Publishing Workshop Tour – an intensive two-day session that will take place in cities around the country throughout 2011. The Workshop Tour kicks off on April 14-15 in Columbus, Ohio, followed by a stop in Washington, D.C., on April 21-22.
Geared toward publishers and designers, the Tablet Publishing Workshop will show the participants how easy it is to create a digital publication for the iPad or other tablet platforms.
“In just two days, well take the attendees through the entire process from start to finish,” said Shawn Duffy, Managing Director of WoodWing USA. “Theyll create an entire digital publication from scratch using WoodWings Tablet Publishing Solution. Some of the most popular magazine titles in the world are being published to tablets using WoodWings tools – everything from Time and Sports Illustrated to Better Homes and Gardens and Parents. Those attending the workshop will see how easy it is to do the same thing.”
Duffy said that workshop participants will learn how to create horizontal and vertical layouts using InDesign templates. Theyll add multimedia elements, such as videos and slideshows, and will learn how to export existing files into the publication using WoodWings Dossiers tool. They will also hear how they can publish on various tablet devices in a very efficient workflow.
Cost of the two-day session is $1,500 per person, which includes lunch on both days. Registration can be done online, where also the technical requirements for the workshop are listed, including what software participants need to pre-install on their laptop before the session.
“Tablet publishing isnt the wave of the future – its the wave of the present,” Duffy said. “Any magazine publisher who isnt offering a tablet edition is losing opportunities and revenue. WoodWing is the industry leader in this market, and this workshop is the best way to find out everything publishers need to know in just two days.”
