You know how I like to mix it up a little, well today I decided to share a little excerpt from the Picture Book Academy's Craft and Business of Illustrating Children's Books e-Course.

I was editing a video interview with Roxie Munro and had taken out an excerpt where we talked about apps for later. I thought it was so interesting and helpful that, even though it's not the best quality video, I decided to post it here. I also wanted to share additional information on the company that she makes her apps with for those of you who are interested.
At some point that didn't make it into the video, we talked about how the lack of editing and art directing on many apps was very detrimental to the credibility of the field as a whole. We also talked about a ton of other interesting things including the affects on young children's brainwaves as a result of watching screens and too much interactivity. Roxie provides a lot of helpful information for illustrators about creating art for apps. At the end of the video, she says something to the effect of "feel free to contact me" but I have a feeling this was just for the students. I also forgot to include the name of the studio that she's in partnership with creating apps. http://www.ocgstudios.com  So here's the video, imperfections and all. I hope you enjoy it. Roxie is awesome.
And here's a link to some fabulous details of her Maze app creation cgstudios.com/roxies-a-maze-ing-vacation-adventure/portfolio-1/

Altho, I am not into the area of creating apps, I thought this apps conversation was very interesting. Roxie had great tips and seems to be the resource person for apps. Thanks, Mira for sharing this.
