New App Makes It Easy to Lay Out, Design and Publish Content
to Any Device
Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) today launched Slate, a new free iPad app
that makes it easier than ever to turn words and images into a
story that can be published as beautifully laid-out Web content, in
minutes. Bringing Adobe’s unrivaled creative software
expertise--across digital imagery, page-layout, typography, and Web
design--to a mass audience, Slate is made for anyone who wants to
communicate with impact. Students, teachers, non-profit
organizations, small business owners or corporate communicators can
now turn their next report, newsletter or travel adventure into a
document that captures attention. Through professionally designed
magazine-style layouts with elegant fonts, beautiful colors and
eye-catching motion, Slate content automatically adapts to any
device for a high-impact reading experience on tablets, smartphones
or computers. Slate creations are links that can be shared easily
via text message, email, embedded in websites, or posted on social
media channels.

Adobe Slate builds on the success of Adobe Voice, an app for
creating animated videos that was named one of the Apple App
Store’s Best New Apps of 2014. Like Voice, Slate features a
collection of themes that set the tone for any story – with a
single tap. The interface makes it simple to add text, choose the
right photo layout and apply carefully curated looks and motion.
Leveraging an advanced Adobe animation engine, Adobe Slate makes
words and images move with automatically applied scrolling
transitions, making it a much more engaging and exciting read. Key
features include:
- Stunning professionally designed
themes allow users to simply tap to select from multiple font
combinations, fun colors and motion to ensure stories stand out
from the crowd.
- Arresting photo layouts and
covers deliver options that help photos pop, making them the
highlight of the story, including grid or window view. Users can
also add a caption overlay on images, ensuring photos are more
integral to the narrative.
- Adaptable design that looks
great on any device, ranging from a phone to large desktop
monitor.
- Call-to-Action buttons link to
online sites and other relevant information to encourage readers to
take action, like: “Donate Now”, “Volunteer” or “Learn More”.
- Sharing options automatically
publish the finished content and help spread the word via a simple
Web link that can be easily posted to social channels, sent via
text message, email or embedded in personal blogs and websites.
Readers can easily view the content in their PC, tablet or mobile
phone browser.
Adobe Quote
Paul Gubbay, vice president of product development, Adobe
“In today’s digital world, everyone wants to share engaging
Web-based stories that stand out, but often people don’t have the
right tools to easily create something impactful. With our move to
Creative Cloud we’re able to tap into our pro-level creative
software expertise and bring it to a much wider audience with new
tools—first with Adobe Voice and now Slate. Stay tuned for more
innovation like this from our teams at Adobe.”
Customer Quote
Joe Dockery, educator, Mount Si High School
“One of the things that I love about Slate is how quickly and
easily my students can publish and share their creations. The
interface is so simple, intuitive and user-friendly, that they can
just concentrate on telling a good story versus worrying about
learning the technology.”
New Updates in Adobe Voice
Also available today are new updates to Adobe Voice that help
users add even more visual variety to their Voice videos. New
features include improved text overlay that helps text stand out
over a busy image or background, new motion graphics, refined font
layouts and categorized video examples that makes it easier to find
the right content for inspiration. Voice video owners can also see
the number of times a video was viewed or “appreciated,” providing
valuable insight into the impact of the story.
