Over the last few years, the iPhone
has taken technology to the next level. It seems as if the iPhone is
capable of anything, and because of its endless amount of apps,
individuals are now capable of anything too. Apps can educate,
entertain, navigate, and inspire creativity in individuals of any age
group. I really enjoyed completing this part of my project because I
became familiar with many helpful tools that I can now use in my day
to day life. In order to appeal to many different individuals, I
tried to incorporate a variety of creative apps. I hope that you
enjoy these apps as much as I do!
Cards-
Apple's new “Cards” app allows
individuals to create and mail unique, personalized cards right
from their iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. Users can select their own
pictures and text to personalize the card, and it only takes a few
moments and the press of a button to send a special greeting! The
app is free to download, and only costs $2.99 for recipients within
the United States, and $4.99 for international recipients. This
price includes postage and is super cheap considering the time,
gas, and money you save to pick out a card and mail it yourself.
Not to mention it is super creative and personal as it allows you
to select different themes, pictures, and text for any occasion.
I've only been using the “Cards” app for a short time, and I'm
already in love with it. I can't wait to use it during the
Holidays!
Dinner Spinner-
“Dinner Spinner”, a free app
created and provided by the well known allrecipes.com, is a great way
to inspire creativity in the kitchen! Not only does this app allow
users to search different recipes by single ingredients, but it also
enables them to shop more easily by providing them with an organized,
personalized shopping list that can be updated anytime, anywhere.
Individuals can find tons of new recipes by typing in a single
ingredient, or by simply shaking their phone. If you have a certain
ingredient, but aren't sure quiet how you want to use it, just type
it in and the possibilities are endless! This is a great way for
individuals to create more creative meals, and also spreads
creativity by allowing users to share their recipes via facebook,
twitter, and email. Being the busy college student that I am, I find
this app very helpful and I use it on a regular basis!
Instagram-
Instagram is a free, photo editing
app that allows even the least creative individuals, such as myself,
to become in touch with their creative side. Instagram provides many
different filtered effects for users to apply to their mobile photos,
enabling them to turn everyday photos into simple masterpieces. Users
can also “follow” friends and other creative members on
Instagram, in order to view their photos, and further spread
creativity. Instagram is very user friendly and only takes
seconds!Personally, I love Instagram and it has quickly become my
favorite app. Up until now I have never been one to take tons of
pictures, and certainly didn't spend the time to edit the ones I did
take. Thanks to Instagram, I now not only take photos, but I can take
beautiful photos!
Vintique-
If you're already a fan of Instagram,
then you're sure to love Vintique! Vintique is also a photo editing
app that allows users to simply edit photos within seconds, no
matter their level of skill in photography. Vintique provides a
vintage touch to photos, by providing 32 vintage filters and many
adjustment options, such as gamma, hue, exposure, and vibrance. The
app only costs $0.99, and can take Instagram masterpieces one step
further! Individuals can also share their photos via Facebook,
Twitter, and email. The app is very user friendly and is sure to
inspire creativity in anyone. I've only been using Vintique for a
few weeks now, but I already love it, and I recommend anyone who is
interested in photography what so ever to download this awesome app
now!
Errands- To Do List-
The Errands-To Do List app is the
perfect way to get creative while also being very productive! This
app is a handy, personalized task manager that allows individuals to
become organized and stay on top of their everyday tasks. Where as
average to-do list are often very bland and boring, Errands to Do
List is the complete opposite. With this app, users can customize
folders, star folders and check them off, upload images to represent
tasks and folders, create monthly calendars, mail folders/tasks, and
much more. It's free, very easy to use, and appeals to all ages.
Errands-To Do List is the perfect way to incorporate creativity into
an area that tends to lack!
