Today, we hosted our introductory webinar on Creating Digital Magazines with the Adobe® Digital Publishing Suite™ , where we discussed some of the basic features in DPS, the top five strategies for success and the top five pitfalls to watch out for.

This webinar was the first in a series; in future sessions we’ll be getting into the deeper aspects of designing and building a digital magazine app, and also preparing for the distribution and publishing of a DPS app. We raised some key points to consider when planning for and producing a digital product with DPS.

Here’s a refresher of the content we covered in our session:

The 5 Best DPS Features

  • Slideshows
  • Image Sequence
  • Hyperlinks and Web Content
  • Audio and Video
  • Pan and Zoom

Top 5 Strategies for Success

  1. Define Your Product Strategy
  2. Plan An Effective Design Strategy
  3. Organize Your Workflow
  4. Do A Dry Run
  5. Don’t Forget the Back End

Top 5 Pitfalls to Avoid

  1. Lack of Consensus
  2. Print Pages = Digital App
  3. Skimping on Planning & Testing
  4. Not Understanding the Tablet Market
  5. Overbuilding the First Issue

We had so much information to share that we had little time left for Q&A, so we’re picking this up in our blog to continue the conversation. We hope you found the topics covered to be of value in this first session, and we look forward to diving deeper in the next in our series, Creating Successful Digital Magazines.
