Old Traditions, New Technology
Our friends at The Center for Irish Music teach traditional Irish music the old-fashioned way, but when it came time to celebrate their 10-year anniversary with their first-ever annual report, they decided to try something brand new.
Instead of spending money printing and mailing out a traditional annual report, they gathered up the year’s best photos, videos and tunes and put them all together with Adobe InDesign’s new Publish Online tool. The result is this delightfully interactive document created by Art Director and Adobe guru Brian Donahue, a frequent collaborator here at Pro Bono Press.
Let Us Know What You Think
This is the first time we’ve played with this new platform, released this fall, and we’ve found a few bugs. (The page above sounds like a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Dingle pub or a ghostly Phil Spector-esque Wall of Sound depending on your wifi connection and whether you’re viewing it on Safari, Chrome, or Firefox…) Even so, we’re excited about the potential to save trees, save money, and even save archived documents from the dust bin, giving them new life with extra video, recorded interviews, animation and other moving assets. Tell us what you think in the comment section, or drop us a line if you’d like to learn more.
