Whitespace - iBooks template

Whitespace is a minimalist iBooks Author portrait template, with striking typography and a clean and elegant look and feel. It’s one of our favourites! As with all iBA Portrait templates, Whitespace offers a range of chapter, section, copyright, dedication, forward and individual page styles, as well as a style guide that explains the most common styles used throughout the template.

**Contents options:** (1) Auto-generating contents when iBooks format is used within iBooks or made available in the iBooks Store. (2) Template contents page that can be used when iBook is to be converted to PDF for sale on one’s own or another website.

**Colour options:** Deliberately comes with a single colour option, consistent with its minimalist nature.

**Fonts:** Comes bundled with Oswald and Lato fonts. Oswald was designed by Vernon Adams, Lato by Łukasz Dziedzic. Headings are in Oswald (Regular). Body text and table text are in Lato (Regular). These fonts are open source fonts, licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 (OFL). The OFL allows use, bundling, modification and redistribution.

**Customise as you please:** You can customise iBooks Author templates as you please. For example, you can modify styles, change the layouts and colours, add your own images, and insert audio and video (audio and video function in the iBooks format but not PDF format).

**System requirements:** You need to have an Apple Mac computer with iBooks Author installed. iBooks Author is free from Apple. For more information, see Apple's description of iBooks Author and its listed system requirements. The templates work with the latest version of iBooks Author (2.3) as well as with other recent versions.
