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. But it’s important to remember that most people aren’t graphic designers — and, like most things, we can all benefit wh...

Triage for iPhone is First Aid for your Inbox

I have strong feelings when it comes to email apps — especially those on mobile. I’ve tried my fair share but keep coming back to Apple’s Mail app after the honeymoon period wears off. It’s been designed for “most people” and it works mostly well in my life. I get my fair share of email and I’m often nervous when opening my inbox for the first time in a ...

It’s not something which is incredibly useful, but as a part-time designer and lover of great software, it’s something which I can confidently say is awesome.

Panic’s Status Board is the Tetris of Data Visualisation

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. Running in a web browser connected to an HDTV, it was the ultimate way to keep track of your performance if your work had anything even remotely to do with computers. Unfortunately as a non-developer, I’ve had no way to ev...

Phosphor – Cross-Platform, Standards-Compliant Video

It's 2013, and animation remains a pain to implement on the web. Flash is dead (good riddance), but its absence leaves an animation-sized hole in the fabric of the web. Plugin-based solutions break the integrity of the internet by ignoring its goal of out-of-the-box universality. Animated GIFs are only viable for small, short-form graphics. Most other solutions ignore...
