iPad Presentation

To create a presentation for the board of directors at STV in order to gain funding for iPads for the sales department.

Instead of using the suggested PowerPoint presentation, I wrote and animated a presentation specifically for iPad, which was to be set to play and handed over to the board, delivering an interactive presentation that really did show the strengths of the iPad as a sales device.
