The Great Gatsby - Interactive Ebook for Ipad
How to “rehabilitate” a traditional paper book in the modern world of image and screen culture? How to rouse excitement amoung readers? How to encourage adults to read literary fiction for pleasure?
This project is about creating an interactive ebook for Ipad which is going to affect different senses like sight, hearing and tactile feelings. The ebook is keeping spirits up by using animated illustrations and graphic elements helping users to navigate through the ebook’s parts and chapters. As an interactive product the ebook is making inquiries, asking questions and informing by explaining bearing of words (proper names, place-names, archaisms). The Great Gatsby novel (1925) by F.Scott Fitzgerald is a great example for adapting a text to multimedia context - the book has a host of references to music and realities typical for that period which is now possible to listen and to see in the form of illustrations in the ebook.
