To help designers get started creating layouts for iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire, and Android devices, App Studio presents the "Think Beyond Ink" tour. The tour, which features free live events in San Francisco, New York, Hamburg, Paris, and London, will shed light on digital publishing by addressing:


° Why digital is the future of publishing;
° The difference between apps and eBooks;
° The costs involved in creating and publishing apps;
° Why designers need to go beyond static, boring PDFs;
° How to create HTML5-based apps from QuarkXPress and InDesign.



The Think Beyond Ink Tour, hosted by App Studio, is a series of free, half-day events that will feature an overview of digital publishing, an introduction to App Studio, and information on how to get started quickly. Designers of all levels who are just getting started or who are looking for alternative solutions to digital publishing can register now for the event in their area.
