Thanks for visiting! Learn how to create an Interactive eBook app – without any code! This is a post by Tutorial Team Member Greg Pugh, author of the Colin Turtle children’s eBook app series. You can also find him on Google+. When people hear that I have written two children’s book apps, a common response I get is “I have an idea for a children’s book, could you help me turn it into an app?”
And today I’m going to show you exactly that – how to turn your book idea into an iOS or Android app. This makes this tutorial especially great for non-programmers or designers. In this tutorial, you’ll create a three-page, interactive eBook using Adobe Photoshop, Kwik 2 Photoshop plugin, Audacity, TexturePacker, and CoronaSDK.

Creative problem solving is enhanced by thinking more abstractly or at an intellectual distance, rather than more concretely, according to research studies.
In my post Using Research to Enhance Creative Thinking – Part 2, I quoted from the article “15 Scientific Facts About Creativity” which notes that “psychological distance” facilitates creativity, and “when hitting a creative snag, the best thing thinkers can do for themselves is step away and try to look at everything from a completely different point of view.” Evan Polman of New York University and Kyle Emich of Cornell University devised four studies on this creative strategy, with results published in their paper: “Decisions for others are more creative than decisions for the self” [Abstract].
