![]() Anyway it was something and coming from years of working with Adobe Fireworks as a web designer, I can be very picky on image quality. I can’t recall if it was a lack of control, or I wasn’t happy with the image quality. This was not a particularly easy task going from InDesign, and there was something I just wasn’t happy with. With the first real version of my infographic created, it was time to start getting all those visuals into Muse, or so I thought. I shared it through my Creative Cloud account, which also has the added benefit of storing revision data, so I could see both my first AND second draft. I started my project using InDesign (ID) as my layout tool and actually completed my first draft of the graphic there, exporting out a jpeg for feedback. #ADOBE EDGE ANIMATE CC SAVING INTO FOR MUSE FREE#Remember, Royalty-free does not necessarily mean FREE (or free to use everywhere). In my case, I’d be sharing the content online and quite likely in a blog post too, so I made sure I had a set of graphics that were free to use any way I liked. Just make sure, before falling in love with an icon set, that you really do have permission to use and publish those icons. Iconography gets used a lot in infographics and while you can create your own illustrations (I did for a couple elements) there is also an excellent variety of free-to-use icons that can be found online. Next was to start thinking design the whole idea behind an infographic is to communicate information quickly and in a visually interesting manner. And boy did I get more! I was able to locate historical statistics on visitors to Vegas, gambling income for the Clark County, and even some foreclosure data.I had the makings of an infographic! ![]() I turned to Google first for some research data I wanted more than just population density metrics for my project. Steve will tell his story in a more detailed manner in his own post I’ll talk to you about my adventures building out the infographic and Muse-based animated version. I took on the creation of the infographic in all its forms, and Steve took on the video and Acrobat segments. We narrowed the project down to about 4 main deliverables: We asked ourselves, what else can we do, how can we round this out, expand on that one single timelapse and create a collection of assets around this theme? We also wanted our end result to go beyond a single application or goal. However, I wanted something that could be a little easier and more approachable for a teacher new to using technology – especially our technology, so Steve and I decided that part of our project would be to create the timelapse using Photoshop CC video tools, which are more limiting than Premiere, but also much less intimidating for a newcomer. #ADOBE EDGE ANIMATE CC SAVING INTO FOR MUSE PRO#It’s a very thorough tutorial on using Premiere Pro to create a timelapse video. We’ve both been amazed by the great new goal-based tutorials that can be found on AdobeforAcademics, and in particular, we were inspired by the timelapse video tutorial that can be found there. ![]() My team consisted of me and my colleague Steve Adler (also a former educator, like I am). The main idea being to produce content that could be considered usable from a “non-designer/arts” perspective.We worked in teams. This week, the team I work on at Adobe was given a special task to create new education-based assets to use in demonstrations, tutorials and to share with educators and other education colleagues.
