<p>Lily Billingsley: fixed typo</p> <hr /> <div>[[EText_Authoring_Resources|Home Page]]<br /> [[File:IBA_InDesing.png|thumb|iBooks Author and InDesign]]<br /> [[File:AWOL Cover.png|thumb|iBooks Cover done with InDesign]]<br /> <br /> <br /> Apple’s ''&quot;[http://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/ iBooks Author]&quot;'' is a great program for creating ebooks. The software comes loaded with a variety of templates ready to be customized. Although it may be time-consuming, the process is simple, clean, and easy enough for beginners. For those who like more choices in typography, graphics effects, layout, and animation, iBooks is rather limited. There are ways to work around that using Adobe InDesign, along side with iBooks Author. This article is for designers who are experienced with InDesign and don’t mind doing some double work in order to achieve certain effects in iBooks Author. Both programs were used on a Macbook Pro running Lion.<br /> <br /> iBooks Author only accepts True Type (.ttf) and Open Type (otf), which are embedded into books. In InDesign, however, fonts are available through the Mac OS Font Book, which means a large supply of fonts can be opened in InDesign.<br /> <br /> When a design calls for a fancy font treatment that is not available in iBooks Author, one way to achieve that effect is to create it in InDesign first. The first image here shows a page title with typography and a background. Once the page is ready, it can be dragged directly to the desired page in iBooks, which then converts all the items into one image, including outlines, drop shadows, etc., and any other effect done in InDesign. To make any changes, the original file must be edited in InDesign and dragged back to iBooks.<br /> <br /> The second image has an example of a 3D Revolve Effect done with logos in Adobe Illustrator, and a type treatment done on a circular path and animated in InDesign for an iBook cover. Once it is dragged to iBooks Author, it transfers as an image only.</div>

The software comes loaded with a variety of templates ready to be customized. Although it may be time-consuming, the process is simple, clean, and easy enough for beginners. For those who like more choices in typography, graphics effects, layout, and animation, iBooks is rather limited. There are ways to work around that using Adobe InDesign, along side with iBooks Author. This article is for designers who are experienced with InDesign and don’t mind doing some double work in order to achieve certain effects in iBooks Author. Both programs were used on a Macbook Pro running Lion.<br /> <br /> iBooks Author only accepts True Type (.ttf) and Open Type (otf), which are embedded into books. In InDesign, however, fonts are available through the Mac OS Font Book, which means a large supply of fonts can be opened in InDesign.<br /> <br /> When a design calls for a fancy font treatment that is not available in iBooks Author, one way to achieve that effect is to create it in InDesign first. The first image here shows a page title with typography and a background. Once the page is ready, it can be dragged directly to the desired page in iBooks, which then converts all the items into one image, including outlines, drop shadows, etc., and any other effect done in InDesign. To make any changes, the original file must be edited in InDesign and dragged back to iBooks.<br /> <br /> The second image has an example of a 3D Revolve Effect done with logos in Adobe Illustrator, and a type treatment done on a circular path and animated in InDesign for an iBook cover.</div>

<p>Lily Billingsley: /* VisualCV */ added content</p> <hr /> <div>Content coming soon.<br /> <br /> ==Writing==<br /> When writing for the digital media, the author is not just the writer, but also the publisher, the editor, the graphic designer, and the marketer. Therefore when writing for the digital media, there are more mechanics that the author needs to consider than when writing for traditional publishing where usually the sole job of the author is to write. Issues that might usually be the concern of an editor or proofreader-[[Good Writing]], [[Identification]], and [[Expertise]]-must be the concern of the author.<br /> <br /> ====[[Good Writing]]====<br /> When writing for any type of media, whether it be traditional print or online, there is generally a basic standard the writer must adhere to if the writer wants people to read. In web based digital media, “good writing” has a typically higher standard than traditional print. That standard varies depending on what is being written about. No matter the standard, though, the most important thing to keep in mind for all good writing is to keep the readers interested.<br /> <br /> ====[[Identification]]====<br /> When writing for digital media, identify the audience and consider who is reading what the writer is trying to say. An article aimed at college students will read much different from an article aimed at elementary students even if the same basic information is being conveyed. As a result, it is always best to focus on a small, targeted community when writing online.<br /> <br /> ====[[Expertise]]====<br /> When writing for the screen one important aspect to consider is [[design]]. The layout of the content will determine whether or not a potential reader stops and peruses the information displayed. Subheadings, links, and color scheme will be the first impression an online author gets. The writing, the author's informational expertise, is an afterthought.<br /> <br /> ==Layout==<br /> <br /> Layout is the visual and technical aspect of web based writing. The site's [[Design|design]] must include high-quality [[Photos|images]]. Personal web pages and sites must also be [[Navigation and Usability| usable]] and include [[Contact|contact]] information that is accessible on each page. Not only does site layout include visual elements, it also involves the navigation bar used to travel through the website, the headers and footers used for [[Scanability|scanability]], and the references supplied by links and other [[Relevance and Support|relevant support]].<br /> <br /> ====[[Design|Design]]====<br /> The design of a webpage layout is important when writing for the web. In digital writing, design pertains to the look of the website and arrangement of the text, graphics, and other objects that make up the site. A website's design must be consistent, usable, and navigable.<br /> <br /> ====[[Photos|Photos]]====<br /> <br /> [[File:Layout.gif|thumb|right|&lt;ref&gt; webitRabbit &lt;/ref&gt;]]<br /> <br /> Photos assist in providing information to the audience visually and attracting readers. Unprofessional or broken links to photos can result in loss of [[expertise|credibility]] for the site and site owner. <br /> File formats in photos differ, typically falling into categories such as:<br /> * GIF<br /> * JPEG<br /> * PNG<br /> * BMP<br /> <br /> ====[[Contact]]====<br /> Contact information should be included on every website because it suggests credibility and accountability. When including contact information in a website, navigation should always be considered. Student's can include contact information by creating a page located on the main menu or at the bottom of each page. Contact information should incorporate:<br /> *First and last name<br /> *Email address<br /> *Business telephone number <br /> *Business address <br /> If students are not willing to display their contact information, contact forms should be included. Students can also include links to their [[Twitter]], Facebook, [[Linked In]], and/or [[Wordpress]].<br /> <br /> ====[[Usability|Usability]]====<br /> Making content usable is important for a good webpage layout. Keeping the webpage scannable and redundant will help a user understand the points presented. By using links, search engines, and relevant sources, the writer adds to the overall usefulness.<br /> <br /> ====[[Scanability|Scanability]]====<br /> Scanability is one of the key tools to online layout. &quot;Web users scan content rather than reading word for word. Scanners need clues, signposts and highlights, so content should be shaped for scanning. &quot;&lt;ref&gt; Carroll &lt;/ref&gt; Tools for adding scanability to layout include:<br /> * '''Headlines'''<br /> **Subheads<br /> * [[Help:Editing|Links]] <br /> * ''Font'' <br /> ** size <br /> **color <br /> * Image/Graphic<br /> <br /> ====[[Relevance and Support|Relevance and Support]]====<br /> Relevant sources and links are essential for adding credibility to a webpage. Sources that are well-known or have high credibility can increase the professionalism of a webpage. Content uses three key topics that ensure a resourceful webpage:<br /> *Dated Pages<br /> *Outside Web Sources<br /> *Relevant Content Links<br /> <br /> ==Digital and Social Media==<br /> <br /> Digital and social media sites are changing the way that we interact with the world both professionally and personally. Students who can proficiently utilize socially based networks as well as other digital writing mediums have an edge in their future career endeavors. Ideally, student-based environments that employ good writing can communicate optimally online. Students who use [[Good writing | good web writing]] skills developed in college can take those learned skills and apply them to their career search. Because an online presence is becoming an employer's first impression of an applicant, it is essential to create an effective personal brand. Online résumés sites, social media sites, and blogging sites provide platforms that support professional presence, personality, and perspective. <br /> <br /> ====[[Linked In]]====<br /> Content Coming Soon<br /> <br /> ====[[VisualCV]]====<br /> VisualCV is a free Internet-based platform that allows users to create online resumes . Students can customize a personal portfolio with their skills and qualifications and build a portable, professional online presence. VisualCV can be modified to showcase keyword pop-ups, audio, video, pictures and links, to network and share resume data securely within the VisualCV community.<br /> <br /> ====[[About Me]]====<br /> About Me pages are the cover pages of the digital world. By using an About Me page, college students are able to keep all social media outlets in one place. It also allows for others to access all the users interests on one page. About Me pages can be designed by the user in order to better describe the person in his or her own way. As with all writing for the web the basics of [[usability]], [[scanability]], and [[design]] should be used.<br /> <br /> ====[[Twitter]]====<br /> Twitter is an excellent example of [[Good Writing | good writing]] for the screen because of its use of brief and concise information. In addition to communicating with followers and gaining information about the changing world, twitter allows its users to create a personal presence online. Twitter not only provides more [[contact]] information when applying for a job, it also provides a platform to create a professional brand. By having a twitter account, students who are searching for a career can add a personal aspect to their résumés.<br /> <br /> ====[[Blogging | Wordpress/Blogger]]====<br /> With online blogging sites such as WordPress and Blogger college students can easily publish their thoughts in a professional way. Blogs are a great way for students to practice their [[Good Writing|writing for the screen]]. The writing can be personal, but by publishing to a blogging the entires seem more professional. WordPress and Blogger are extremely easy to use with step by step set-up instructions. These online blogging sites are also very customizable with many backgrounds and templates to choose from.<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> <br /> *[http://litmuse.net/course/nmac/writing-for-digital-media-fall-2012 Writing for Digital Media]<br /> <br /> *[http://mca.maconstate.edu/ The Department of Media, Culture, and the Arts]<br /> <br /> *[http://www.maconstate.edu/ Macon State College]<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> #Carrol, Brian.

<p>Lily Billingsley: /* Digital and Social Media */</p> <hr /> <div>Content coming soon.<br /> <br /> ==Writing==<br /> When writing for the digital media, the author is not just the writer, but also the publisher, the editor, the graphic designer, and the marketer. Therefore when writing for the digital media, there are more mechanics that the author needs to consider than when writing for traditional publishing where usually the sole job of the author is to write. Issues that might usually be the concern of an editor or proofreader-if the writing is good, identification, and expertise-must be the concern of the author.<br /> <br /> *[[Good Writing]]<br /> :One of the most important aspects of writing for the digital media is to keep the reader reading.<br /> <br /> *[[Identification]]<br /> :In order to better address the interests, concerns, and questions of the audience, writing should focus on a small targeted community.<br /> *[[Expertise]]<br /> :Consistent navigation and attractive design<br /> <br /> ==Layout==<br /> <br /> Layout is the visual and technical aspect of web based writing. The site's [[Design|design]] must include high-quality [[Photos|images]]. Personal web pages and sites must also be [[Navigation and Usability|easily usable]] and include [[Contact|contact]] information that is accessible on each page. Not only does site layout include visual elements, it also involves the navigation bar used to travel through the website, the headers and footers used for [[Scanability|scanability]], and the references supplied by links and other [[Relevance and Support|relevance support]].<br /> <br /> ===[[Design|Design]]===<br /> The design of a webpage's layout is very important when writing for the web. In digital writing, design pertains to the look of the website and arrangement of the text, graphics, and other objects that make up the site. A website's design must be consistent, usable, and navigable.<br /> <br /> ===[[Photos|Photos]]===<br /> <br /> [[File:Layout.gif|thumb|right]]<br /> <br /> Photos assist in providing information to the audience visually. Photos play a huge part in attracting readers, and unprofessional or broken photos can result in loss of [[expertise|credibility]] for the site and site owner. <br /> FIle formats in photos differ, typically falling into categories such as:<br /> * GIF<br /> * JPEG<br /> * PNG<br /> * BMP<br /> <br /> ===[[Contact]]===<br /> Contact information should be included on every page of a website because it suggests credibility and accountability. When including contact information in a website, navigation should always be considered. There must be a clear way of obtaining contact information from each page. Student's can include contact information by creating a separate page and including the page in the main menu, or at the bottom of each page. Contact information should incorporate:<br /> *First and last name<br /> *Email address<br /> *Business telephone number (if applicable)<br /> *Business address (if applicable)<br /> If students are not willing to display their contact information, contact forms should be included. Students can also include links to their Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, and/or Wordpress, which are other means of contact through social media websites.<br /> <br /> ===[[Usability|Usability]]===<br /> Keeping the web page scannable and redundant will help with how well a user understands the points given. By using links and being consistent, the writer is adding to the overall use of the site.<br /> <br /> ===[[Scanability|Scanability]]===<br /> Scanability is one of the of the key tools to online layout. &quot;Web users scan content rather than reading word for word. Scanners need clues, signposts and highlights, so content should be shaped for scanning. &quot;&lt;ref&gt; Carroll &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * '''Headlines'''<br /> **Subheads<br /> * [[Help:Editing|Links]] <br /> * ''Font'' <br /> ** size <br /> **color <br /> * Image/Graphic<br /> <br /> ===[[Relevance and Support|Relevance and Support]]===<br /> When upper-level college students are writing for the web having relevant sources and links are essential to the credibility of the page. Linking to outside sources that are knowledgeable in the area can improve the direction of the webpage, and show expertise. When not following these guidelines by linking to certain sources, and content not relevant to the topic the site will lose credibility.<br /> <br /> ==Digital and Social Media==<br /> <br /> Digital and social media sites are changing the way that we interact with the world both professionally and personally. Sites like Linkedin, [[VisualCV]], and [[About Me | About Me]] allow users to create a professional online presence. Social media sites like [[Twitter]] and [[blogging]] websites like Wordpress and Blogger, allow users to add a personality and perspective to their professional presence on the web.<br /> <br /> Platforms that support professional presence, personality, and perspective include:<br /> * [[Linkedin]] <br /> * [[VisualCV]]<br /> * [[About Me]]<br /> * [[Twitter]]<br /> * [[Blogging | Wordpress/Blogger]]<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> <br /> *[http://litmuse.net/course/nmac/writing-for-digital-media-fall-2012 Writing for Digital Media]<br /> <br /> *[http://mca.maconstate.edu/ The Department of Media, Culture, and the Arts]<br /> <br /> *[http://www.maconstate.edu/ Macon State College]<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> #Carrol, Brian.

<p>Lily Billingsley: </p> <hr /> <div>The Internet has changed the way people search for jobs. A paper resume is no longer enough to make an impression to prospective employers. An online resume is the tool of the trade for recent graduates to network, showcase work experience, and manage their career choices.<br /> <br /> == What is VisualCV? ==<br /> <br /> ''&quot;[http://www.visualcv.com/ VisualCV]&quot;'', Inc., stands for Visual Curriculum Vitae or resume and is owned by ''&quot;[http://www.talenttech.com// Talent Technology]&quot;''. It is a free online resume service that allows students to present their work experience safetly in a digital portfolio and share it with their peers and future employers.<br /> Students can market their qualifications and build a professional image by incorporating class projects, writing examples, images, videos, charts, graphs, and letters of recommendations.<br /> <br /> == Building Steps ==<br /> #Create. Information on text sections should include small bio, contact, work history, and education. To stand out from the crowd, a VisualCV should have multimedia-rich content, including images or video clips that showcase the student's portfolio.<br /> #Share. Students can look over the 700 companies listed on the VisualCv site to find a prospect match to apply for a job and send their VisualCV.<br /> #Manage. VisualCV is easy to update so students who get a job can add new skills and keep their resume current and relevant.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Resumé Styles ==<br /> There are several different types of resumes, outlined by [1]Mary Ellen Guffey in Essentials of Business Communication. A resume must be relevant and professional in order to obtain a good job. No matter what type of resume is chosen, it is vital that relevant and up-to-date contact information is provided. This includes a cell phone number, and an email address that is checked at least once a day. Resumes, especially online resumes, should follow the criteria outlined in [[Good Writing|Good Writing]].<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Chronological'''<br /> <br /> This type of resume is ideal for a person with an extensive job history. Guffey says that chronological resumes:<br /> <br /> *Provides quick scannability to recruiters<br /> *Quickly reveal candidates education and experience<br /> *Suitable for students with extensive job experience<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Functional'''<br /> <br /> A functional resume is good for a candidate who has little employment experience. A functional resume:<br /> <br /> *Showcases skills, rather than past employment.<br /> *Groups skills and accomplishments<br /> *Takes away the negative connotation of a spotty or weak employment history<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Combination'''<br /> <br /> A combination of the aspects of functional and chronological resumes, this type of resume is good for a recent graduate who has a bit of job experience. A combination resume:<br /> <br /> #Emphasizes abilities and job history<br /> #Is a good choice for recent graduate<br /> #Exemplifies skill sets targeted to job description of choice <br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> *[[Twitter|Twitter]]<br /> *[[About Me|About Me]]<br /> *[[Wordpress|Wordpress]]<br /> *[[Linked In|Linked In]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> *http://www.visualcv.com/www/edu/<br /> *http://www.mashable.com<br /> *Gueffy p.356-358</div>
