Art.com, a leading art and decor service, recently released their first iPad app, artCircles. The app was designed by Hot Studio.
The app is a lot of fun to play with. You can browse all kinds of artwork by color, by keyword, or by collections curated by some of today’s leading creatives from artists to designers to musicians.
The interface is a lot of fun, too, letting you spin through the collections until you find something you like.
artCircles is free.
Yesterday, Duarte Design released a new service called Diagrammer. Like a stock photo site for PowerPoint diagrams, Diagrammer offers respite from the uninspiring diagram templates included in PowerPoint. Visit the site to watch a short video explaining the service.
Those familiar with Slideology will recognize the (somewhat altered) diagram categories: Flow, Network, Stack, Segment, and Join. Many of the diagrams are editable versions of those sketched out for us in chapter three of Nancy’s book.
Most of the diagrams have multiple versions to facilitate different needs. All are just $0.99. And all are intended as starting places that can be manipulated, altered, and resized, etc.
This is a very exciting announcement and a very cool tool that makes it much easier to create diagrams that formerly would have required lots of time and possibly other design tools.
Yesterday Nancy tweeted that you can use the code 3forfree to get three free diagram downloads. But be careful. Once you have the first taste it may be hard to stop. :^)
