Interactive Brochure Video Review

The video was quite interesting. It highlighted all the possibilities of an interactive brochure in Visual Design CS5. Some of the things that stood out to me were the animations and the interactive images. The animations, while it is easy to overdo them, can really add to the flashiness of any brochure. The interactive images, through the use of states and buttons used to navigate through said states. You could get creative by using both of these things in conjunction with one another, to make the brochure less stoic and unimpressive, looking like something you could have easily printed out with the same effect. It also seems streamlined in general, not having to use timelines like with Photoshop animations, and making the buttons very simple to use by assigning commands to them.
