Dans Mon Rêve (In My Dream)
© 2011 e-Toiles éditions
Art meets app in this make-your-own dream machine, by letting you mix and match artistic elements with a left or right swipe. With each motion, the "dream" changes, along with an accompanying three-sentence poem, presented and narrated in French. There is no English option. The app features the art of Stéphane Kiehl. Once you make your dream, you turn off the lights to reverse the image, thus changing the mood of the image. At any point, you can capture a photo of your dream to your iPad's photo gallery. This title was the winner of the BolognaRagazzi Digital prize. Jurors said that this app breaks storytelling out of the typical page turning presentation. The image elements are particularly well-integrated with one another. See the video at http://youtu.be/QJuqwsX0rWc.
