iPhone App for New Designers

So if you're feeling a little overwhelmed with today's lecture on file formats, color modes, resolutions and the battle between bitmap vs. vector...you may want to check out this iPhone App called PrintProof.

Click here. Check it out. While it does cost $1.99 (whoa, steep, I know!) it might be beneficial as a reminder for new designers. It features little check-lists for each project with descriptions of the different types of file extensions, color modes, reminders, etc. You may not understand what all this is yet, but you will!

I bought it so if you want to look at mine before you buy, just ask!

Also, I have some other iPhone Apps listed on the <<< left side of this blog. Check out my resources too!
