Event Overview

If you love to design in Photoshop and would like to publish your own interactive story for the iPad, let's do it! With a few tools, we can make it happen – no coding necessary.

Bring your laptop to our Ravenswood Corridor design studio and follow along as we go step by step from start to publication. You will need your Adobe Photoshop software and skills, we will be using the Kwik plugin and the Corona SDK, both of which are available for a free trial.

You will learn how to integrate your design + illustration into an app, add some audio and other interactive bells and whistles to the story, then self-publish your app (iPad, Android, Kindle or Nook, actually). How cools is that?!

Minimum age

All ages welcome

Prerequisites

Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop
*You must have Photoshop installed (at least version CS5)
Install the Kwik plugin
Install Ansca Corona

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Bryn McCoy is unlike any developer you’ve met before. A software engineer and graphic designer, she is the epitome of a maker. Whether it’s innovative software for the likes of IDEO and BMW, illustration and animation for lovable brand identity, art projects with her young children, or VJ gigs with Chicago’s indie bands, there is never a moment when Bryn isn’t working with ideas and artifacts, or found sketching with a notebook in tow.

Bryn has built an expertise in all sorts of information technology through 15 years of software engineering and interaction design.  From working with a Silicon Valley network infrastructure startup through nine years of development in her Chicago-based interactive studio, she masterfully makes information beautiful from just a spark of imagination.
