Rest in Pets – A Fitting Farewell for a Child’s Furry Friend

Last year, I interviewed Mat Bogust, a packaging designer based in New Zealand, about how he's using cardboard to help change the world one piece of packaging at a time. He's been busy since we last spoke and is currently raising money through a Kickstarter campaign, changing his role from the designer of packaging to the designer of an actual product. Rest in ...

FaceTune for iPhone brings dedicated portrait image retouching to everyone

A good amount of fine folks reading The Industry will already be highly-skilled Photoshop experts, able to perform magic on-screen and impress family and friends by creating and retouching all kinds of images, whether photos or graphic designs.

My inner nerd is squealing with delight. I’ve been secretly in love with Mac and iOS developer Panic’s Status Board since around 2010.

MyScript Calculator can Read Handwriting & Solve Equations

I’ve got an interesting app for you to check out today. MyScript Calculator is a universal app requiring iOS 6 which quite seriously blew me away when I first discovered it.

Strophes for Mac – Beautiful Lyrics for Your Music

A few weeks back, I wrote about Artista for iPhone, a sweet new app for discovering more information about your currently playing music. My biggest wish for Artista was lyric support: I wanted to be able to read the lyrics to my favourite music whilst listening to it — something I’ve been doing on my Mac for what feels like forever, thanks to Strophes for Mac. ...
