Inkling Habitat Projects

I finished the project on the audio player and invoiced accordingly for it, which gave me good experience of dealing with a client in a professional capacity. The client was very happy with the work, and overall it was a very successful project.

My focus for the last while has been on the Inkling Habitat publishing project. I have created several different Habitat projects, using them to experiment with layout, CSS, SCSS and all the different types of functionality for Inkling.

Here is a view of one of the projects I created. On the right panel is the pattern picker, where you can add formatting to the reader card, or you can create your own formatting. I mostly created my own, but used the Inkling 'callout' pattern for adding interactive content such as video and slideshows. The page is styled with my own custom CSS, and while it may not be very pretty at the moment, it allowed me to create my own experiments and learn how to work with the platform.

Here is another example from a different project. I used CSS to create a background image and different levels of opacity. Inkling actually uses SASS (SCSS version) instead of standard CSS, so I need to look into learning some more of that so that I can achieve more with the stylesheets.

The Inkling platform is quite difficult to get used to, but it can create some great textbooks and instructional publications, which is really useful to an educational company like Digilogue.
