stuff we love: software
Last year we did a round-up of the apps that make it easy to run a design company on the fly, and it’s high time we updated that list. Some things have changed, some have stayed the same, but one thing’s for sure: we’d be lost without these!
Part 1 of 2 (Matt will post his [...]

Munchkin Designs
We just launched the new site for Munchkin Designs, and I couldn’t resist placing an order - you know, just to test the system. It came a couple of days ago, and check out the cuteness:
Lisa Komer, Munchkin Designs’ owner, makes the most adorable custom-designed printed materials. And her site is pretty cute, too, if [...]

On the photography front
We recently picked up a Lensbaby variable focus lens (ours is a 3G) and are absolutely having a blast with it.
Could we replicate the effect in Photoshop? Well, sort of, but it wouldn’t be easy or 100% right.
There is also a random element to using the lensbaby that we love. Often we don’t get [...]

Shopify Pricing Changes
The folks over at Jaded Pixel created quite a big kerfuffle with their recent pricing changes for Shopify.
Like a lot of designers who work with Shopify we were mystified. We felt betrayed by people who we had previously sung the praises of, we scratched our heads and fumed. We wrote forum posts questioning their methods, [...]

Webvisions 2007: Day 1
Mark Wyner’s presentation on Experience Design As the Sum of Its Parts was fantastic, and we liked his tattoos, too. It’s nice to be in an industry where tattoos are just part of the everyday and not something to be hidden, furtively, like a pvc fetish or a penchant for furries. At our last “day” [...]

Adobe’s Lightroom vs. Apple’s Aperture: who wins?
We’ve been using Adobe Lightroom (now Photoshop Lightroom) for months now, ever since we stumbled over the beta version in Adobe Labs. We loved the interface, the integration with Photoshop, the ease of use. Pretty much the only thing we didn’t love was the new dock icon. What is up with the new Adobe icons? [...]

Who Needs to Stay in One Place When We Have The Internet?
We shuttle between a home office, an office-office, and several points in between. How do we do it? Here’s a list, in no particular order, of the apps, programs and sites that make it possible to run a business from anyplace we happen to be.
