Mag+

We will be using a free InDesign plug-in called Mag+ for the last project. You need to download it here: http://www.magplus.com/. This tool allows us to use software that we are very familiar with, InDesign, and create fully functioning Ipad magazine articles that can be easily viewed and tested as we work. Video that explains how to download the plug-in.

**if you own an Ipad, please plan to bring it to class for the remainder of the semester**

We will have several in class demos, but you will also be expected to watch tutorials and be good self-starters about learning this new technology. It's very easy to use!

Check out the introduction video here to get pumped:
