My Christmas really has come early this year. In fact I think it started about August when my family downloaded an iPad app called Paper from fiftythree.com. It's soo FAB. It's a digital version of a watercolour pad and paints but it doesn't spill watercolours all over carpet. You can even doodle on the sofa while watching telly with the family in the evening. So Why turn of the TV and do something more interesting instead when you can do BOTH?
The only only down side at the moment seems to be the iPad page is just less than a third the size of an A4 at 300dpi, so to do an illustration for print of any size, you need to produce it it in chunks. The building above is 210mm wide at 100%. Below are a couple of original chunks iPad size. However knowing the way these things evolve there will be a solution for that. Why not 'Paper' for Mac?
So into Photoshop they went a but of PingSweetie lights and magic and Hey Presto, a corporate Christmas complete with snow.
I've just presented pitch illustrations for an children's picture book with a lot of 'Paper' elements too. (All 'Hush' Hush' right now, but very exciting can't wait to show you some) and I dare say the PingSweetie Christmas card will be done using the Paper app. If you fancy one of your own mail me but be quick, Christmas is nearer than you think...
