Thanks Erique!
hello i`m new hear, just log on for the first time. where should i start.
Adam: Welcome! You can find some information about our site here: https://creativepro.com/how-to-find-things-here
Thank you Erica for the rundown of my new animations book. May I add a couple of things:
Amazon isn’t necessarily the best place to order right now. Peachpit has a steep set of discounts, up to 35% off, that can be applied.
Also, they have a terrific book/ebook bundle for the physical book as well as a PDF, Mobi, and regular ebook. With the discounts the price of all four items is just $39.19–just under the retail price of the book.
Peachpit has free shipping if you pre-order.
And they list the book as releasing August 20. (Amazon has moved the date to make sure they don’t disappoint customers.)
Amazon is usually the best price on books, except during this pre-order period.
Also, I provide my email address in the introduction to the book. Now, here’s the “secret” for InDesign Secrets readers:
Anyone who buys the book, in any format, has the right to email me with questions for the rest of their life. And the questions don’t have to be just about animations. They can be about upgrading, printing, buying a new computer, keyboard, anything! But don’t ask me about wedding invitations or flower arranging. I’m not good at those things.
Just remember, I travel, so I may not be able to get back to you immediately.
Hi Sandee,
Can you tell me if your new book on Creating Animations…… is similar to Diane Burns’ course on Lynda.com?
Many thanks.
Anita
Well, it’s not like we sat in a room and compared notes and made sure we cover the same topics. But we definitely cover the same techniques.
So here are my thoughts about which one to choose:
If you already have a subscription to Lynda.com and don’t want to spend another penny, stay with Diane’s course. You’ll get more than enough to become a master.
If you like books, and very detailed step-by-step instructions, get my book.
If you are voracious about learning animations, get both. Diane and I often approach techniques in different fashions, and you can pick up a bit by each approach.
Sandee
I have already completed about half of Diane Burns’ course on http://www.lynda.com but I am a great fan of books.
Therefore, I’ll get a copy of your book when Peachpit publish it. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments about Peachpit! I have saved so much money buying books from them that they leave Amazon in the shade!!
