Se eu fosse… Nacionalidades iPad app previewed
Yesterday was the launch of a new children’s book written by Francisco José Viegas and illustrations by Rui Penedo called “Se eu fosse… Nacionalidades”.
Think Orange was invited to create an iPad version which would be truthful to the original content and adapted to this new medium.
The opening ceremony went very well, the book is very well made and the drawings are imaginative and creative, so we were very happy to be able to create an app for the book.
We decided to not go with the current over-the-top crazy animations pattern that some apps feature and in some cases just distract you from the original writing and magic of the book.
We had 2 computers on the book launch running the iPad app on the simulator (no iPads for sale in Portugal yet, ouch!) and people could interact freely and play with the book.
It was also a good opportunity to observe some behaviours from grownups and children when dealing with the interactive elements on the app.
A very good experience overall, the app should be available very soon. In the meantime I’ve created a Flickr image gallery with preview screens of the application and some photos of the event. Enjoy!
Nice!
You really need to import an iPad…
Parabéns!
o livro parece fantástico, mas merecia uns iPads à altura para mostrar
tenho de ir a Espanha comprar.
