2015-Adobe Presents: The Digital Future of Books with guest speaker Terry Bailey in Glendale, CA

Will books full of animation, graphics, video, photos, sound, music and 3D embedded in stories be the future of what we read and call books, or are “enhanced” books a whole new media? Are print books and magazines close to extinction or is this public-turning to the WEB and eBook readers for stories and news a passing fancy? Who will write the books of the future? You’ve heard terms like eBooks, iBooks, enhanced books, transmedia, multimedia, interactive multimedia, ePub,touch-enabled books – what’s up with all the names?

If you want to try your hand at writing one of these New Media (yikes, yet another name!) books, can you do it on your own or will you need to hire a programmer and other media and tech experts? Should you create an eBook or an app – say what? Our presenter, New-Media author Terry Bailey will share her perspective on these questions along with a look at interactive multimedia book creation tools, her own creation stories, history and thoughts about the future of publishing.

Profiles and Testimonials for Terry Bailey

Terry was profiled in the Pasadena Weekly:"Mission Possible: Renaissance woman Terry Bailey brings others up to speed with changing and challenging technology.

Terry Bailey has a mission: get women and girls up to speed with technology. . . . Bailey seeks to remedy what she sees as a severe deficit in women's grasp of computers and digital communication. Females may use technology, but we are not much involved in creating it, a loss for everyone.
Bailey lived in Glendale for years but is now a resident of Pasadena. She's had a remarkable career, usually the only woman in the fields she's selected. Strong in both right- and left-brain pursuits, she's a creative "techie." While the so-called "conventional" wisdom is that science and the arts do not mix, shaking up oil and vinegar takes two seemingly opposite ingredients and makes dressing. Bailey mixes it all up and becomes more than the sum of her parts. I hope she doesn't mind me likening her to delicious vinaigrette!
Another non-culinary way to label the label-defying Bailey is to call her a Renaissance woman. Look at her Web site (www.mediabench.com) and you'll see she covers a lot of territory. She's a digital communication consultant, artist, college lecturer, singer and novelist." Click here for full article.
