Follow up – Apple Design History & Flixel

This is just a quick follow up to my previous post re Steve Jobs. There was a very informational exhibit at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s exhibit, The Patents & Trademarks of Steve Jobs: Temporary Exhibit Examines the Design History of the Apple Co-Founder. If you’re like me and you missed it to, you can go to this dexigner link to get a visual overview (some are seen below) and learn more information regarding. Some of these devices are permanently on view at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Now if you have a iPhone, you may want to look into this fairly new app Flixel that adds movement to your pictures. It’s pretty cool to see in action. Instagram is such a hit that this app may be too. It reminds me of flipbooks that I loved as a kid.

This can be achieved with everyday images. Take a shot, hold it for 2 seconds, paint the area you want to move and voila!

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
