On Thursday afternoon 28th May 2015 at 3:15pm we held a fascinating webinar  presented by Alan Goldberg of Digicape on the free Adobe Slate available from iTunes.

The Webinar description

Alan Goldberg, our webinar presenter for this week, says: “Named AppStore Editors’ Choice, Slate lets you turn your next report, travel adventure, school project or newsletter into a gorgeous visual story that can will engage readers on any device. Created on an iPad, you select your style – and your fonts, colour and magazine style design are automatically incorporated. Add your text and images to tell a unique and exquisite story – then share your story anywhere on any device. If you’ve ever wanted your offerings to look like those stunning ‘Snowfall’ style web pages, where text and images glide over each other in a fluid and elegant way, you’ll love Slate.”
