Seeing is Believing
This video will give you a good idea of what you can do with Stationery and why you would want to be able to create custom Stationery for Enticio™ Write.
HandiBanner™ and HandiPaper™
We wanted to users to be able to create their own banners and papers, and let artists use the same guidelines and considerable abilities to create beautiful pieces. Any individual can create a banner in minutes, however, artists are encouraged to create superior works that promote their skill.
The following requirement for HandiBanner™ or HandiPaper™ is to make achievable, the following goal. Someone running Enticio™ Write must be able to select an image from their Photo Library and have the software scale, resample and position the image with no extra input from the user. If your image doesn’t achieve this goal of the workflow, it is non-compliant since compliance is measured by the experience and not by image dimensions.
BANNER DESIGN
HandiBanners have a range of acceptable widths. Horizontally, 1024 to 2048 pixels tends to be a good rule of thumb with a height that varies from around 200 to 250 on the thin end and extending all the way down the length of the page with an extended length of 2732 pixels for the 12.9 inch model.
Note that providing extra resolution will be dropped by the app as it will scale the image to fit horizontally and across the top of the screen. The image will be resampled to maintain a certail acceptable balance of performance and appearance.
PAPER DESIGN
HandiPaper™ is where the artist is taking complete control of things and may allow some bits of the paper color to peek through to create some interesting effects. The sizing of the paper is the same as for banners but the image runs down the length of the screen and off the bottom. As mentioned previously, the length can be 2732 for the 12.9 inch with the iPad’s standard aspect ratio.
