How to Vacation

Sharing the most memorable parts from a trip or vacation
is something we're all hard-wired to do.
Sway helps me illuminate
my favorite moments from that trip.
First, I'll select a few of my favorite photos and add them to the storyline.
Then, I can organize them into a group simply by clicking on this icon.
You can group images into a stack, or a grid, or a slideshow
We can make those changes back on the storyline
And we can choose between a stack, a grid, or a slideshow
I use the comparison card to create a kind of Etch-a-Sketch effect
with drawings on the beach
I like this style that I've chosen,
but I noticed that it tends to crop some of the parts of the image that I like
So I need to use focus points
To bring back my favorite parts of that image
And make sure they're not cropped
Focus points allow me to draw
the viewer's attention to my favorite parts of an image
For each of the sunset photos, I added some captions
I also a recorded a timelapse and a super slow-motion
bubble floating through the air.
I wanted to embed a map, so I copied this iframe code
and paste it into the embed card
Now that I have some content,
I can cycle through different looks quickly
and watch the mood of the story change.
The remix feature is a fast way to cycle through different
combinations of design and navigation
automatically.
We can also further customize the look by choosing a color scheme
based on some images that are in your Sway.
Using Sway to share an experience is as fast and easy as creating a gallery of images
But you have more granular control
for the look and feel
These little tweaks in style and fun interactive elements help add character
to the story and they help me share what I think is most important
