iPhone 366

how many excuses do you make to not do your art? i know i have a whole truckload. ivan wentland teaches us through example to stop making these excuses. in “iPhone366” ivan shows us that we all can and probably should do art everyday with 366 consecutive daily images without the use of photoshop and much of the tedium that often holds all of us back from this opportunity. “IPhone 366” runs at fishcake from August 2nd through September 15th 2012.

ivan wentland is a photographer. he has his degree in Photography from the University of Michigan. yet, he is also the father of a quickly growing toddler and works 40 hours a week as a stone fabricator. time is very valuable to him. wentland explains, “i started this experiment to show people that it is possible to express themselves well and creating images can be easy and not so burdensome.”

magic plan

my least favorite part about being a designer is taking measurements, i'm always afraid of measuring wrong.  so just when i think i should create an app that will help me do something, someone has already thought of it and created it.  enter, MagicPlan!!!  this might be the end all of great apps for me.  the app helps you measure a room and creates a floor plan for you in seconds.  it's amazing.  my only qualm is that it doesn't work so great when you're room is as big as fishcake.  go figure.  but if you have an iPhone, download it and check it out for yourself.
