A new iPhone of my Very Own
I finally did it! I reserved myself a brand spankin' new 3Gs iPhone to be picked up this Friday at my friendly local Apple Store. So, naturally, I started thinking about premedia and my life in prepress and color retouching... I wonder what types of iPhone creative software apps are out there for a design addict like myself??
Here's the rundown so far...
WhatTheFont allows you to identify the fonts in a photo or web graphic!
Ever seen a great font in a magazine ad, poster, or on the web and wondered what font it is? Whip out your iPhone and snap a photo, and WhatTheFont for iPhone will identify that font in seconds! ...Instant gratification!
iPod touch users — you may not have a camera, but you can still get in on the action! WhatTheFont for iPhone will identify fonts in images saved from apps such as Safari and Mail.
Price: FREE
Color Expert
Color Expert contains powerful tools to help artists and designers identify, translate, capture and showcase color.
This has got to be one of the best finds for me so far. When it comes to corporate branding, premedia services, and design you just never know when inspiration will strike!
Look down. See the color of that pomegranate in your cart? Go get it. It'd be perfect for the project you've been working on. Whip out Color Expert and it tells you that shade is PANTONE® solid coated PANTONE 220 C. The interactive color wheel then finds the perfect color schemes and palettes to match. Now, email that color scheme to your friends or clients. But, you might not want to tell them you're still in the check-out line.
Price: $9.99
Now for the photogs out there... don't worry you too are taken care of when it comes to the iPhone.
We all love gadgets right? That's why we do what we do. Here is another tool to help you get the best shot ever! iPhone app prices are low -- about $1.99 on average -- yet they can turn your iPhone into one of the best assistants you've ever used. Jennifer Wills has a great article featuring all of the great apps for photographers!
