Many designers prefer to use the iOS operating system to complete their web design. As a result, they are often looking for the best apps for use with their iPhone and iPad devices. With new apps coming out sometimes daily, finding the right app can often feel overwhelming. Below are a list of 6 of the best iOS apps designed to make the Web design Auckland designer’s life easier.
Layers
The Layers app is a media painting app designed to be used with the iPod Touch and iPhone operating systems. Layers is also compatible with Photoshop, and has a number of different features that make it user friendly. Some of these features include a variety of brushes, multiple color options, paint features, erase options, and smudge tools. The result is the ability to add multiple layers (where the app gets its name) to the drawing, making it possible for the designer to create high quality web designs from the palm of their hand.
FiLMiC Pro
FilMiC Pro is an ideal app for those designers interested in creating films. It makes it possible to adjust the camera’s focus and exposure individually. It also makes it possible to lock the camera’s focus, exposure, and white balance. This makes the app great for setting the right tone for filming a variety of different videos. Add to that the ability to set the resolution of the film being recorded, the frame-rate, and the bit-rate and designers will be able to record videos far above what the default Apple devices provide for use in enhancing their web designs.
Paper
The Paper app makes it possible to compile website design Auckland notes, drawings, and photographs all into one place. Paper acts as a digital brainstorming tool, letting the designer make notes on a project all in one location for fast reference. Paper allows the user to quickly take notes and make lists on their project using a swipe-to-style format. And an additional bonus is this app is FREE for designers to use, unlike other web design apps which come at a nominal fee.
Font Candy
The Font Candy app is a typography app. In other words, it allows designers to use a number of different fonts to create text and strategically place them onto photographs. The app also works with your device’s camera to add font directly to pictures taken. Pair the FREE price tag with its ability to post to social media, and it is a great choice for designers looking to design social media projects.
DesignLab
Another great iOS compatible tool for designers is the DesignLab app. The free version makes it possible to create photos using filters and adding typeface to the picture. It is similar to the Font Candy app, but offers more features. The designer can either take a photo in the app and add text, or choose an existing photo from their design library to edit it. There is also a DesignLab Pro edition for a monthly rate for those who want to do more than the basic features the app provides.
Sketchbook
Last on the web design Auckland list is the Sketchbook app. It is created by Autodesk, and is a favorite app for digital designers who use the iPad or iPhone to create their design projects. Sketchbook has a number of different pencils, pens, markers, and brushes to select from while creating a design. The option to pin tools to the screen makes them even easier to access. This FREE app also allows the designer to utilize options to make annotations, blend modes, and different transparency options to create the perfect design for their projects.
