Top 5 Artistic Apps

If you are a graphic designer, illustrator or artist, this app is a wonder. Adobe Ideas allows you to not only create professional quality vector graphics wherever you are, but you can also sync your Adobe Creative Cloud to transfer any projects you are currently working on in your Adobe Suite directly to your mobile device. It really is your art database on the go!

Composite, $1.99

This app is pretty unique because it lets you manipulate real-time visuals seen through your iPad’s camera. So whatever it is that you are taking a picture of, you can create a “painting” of that image with the simple drag of your finger across the screen. I really recommend checking out the incredible tutorial video on their site right here. Blew me away! Now everyone can truly paint a picture of what they see.

Mixel is a simple, fun, and addictive app for creating digital collages. What makes it great and unique is that it has an integrated social network, so that any collage you make is available to others to remix. The result is that you get great remix threads around a theme or element. Mixel also allows you to keep your creations private or viewable to only those you specify. The Mixel community is diverse, from dabblers and amateurs to artists working in other mediums, with people from a variety of countries around the world. The result is an always inspiring and interesting mix of styles, themes and images. I’ve been a member of the Mixel community since November when it launched and I love it! The Mixel app is FREE. For more info and examples, see their website at http://mixel.cc/

  Hey there, I think your blog might be having bworser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, amazing blog!

I’m impressed, I must say. Really relray do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
