So no secret I already LOVE my iPad for this exact reason, and not (just) because I can play Words for Friends and Draw Something on a much bigger screen! I'm generally not too fast on the uptake with apps though, and it's taking me a while to discover the full potential of my little buddy in his folding orange jacket.
But for all you iPad users out there who also - like me - love throwing together the odd design scheme or two and - most importantly - changing it a gazillion times, then you simply MUST meet my new bestie ....
It's called Moodboard and for a mere $10.49 US, you can create as many boards as you like by grabbing photos from your camera roll or from the internet, creating colour swatches, adding text and moving everything around to your heart's content.
This is me playing around with some ideas for my lounge room - there's a small wall behind the Tessa chair & ottoman just crying out for a bit of wallpaper, but I want to work with what's already in the room, i.e. the Ikea rug & sofa, and the Tessa.
You can create and change schemes with this app in the blink of an eye, and just screenshot your board as you go to keep track of the options as your ideas progress. Here's what happened to the scheme when I: 1. received a delicious red orange throw from a lovely & generous visitor (aka M the Masterchef) and 2. realised I wanted to keep my yummy teal side table in the room as well ....
Any ideas which is my favourite?
Which is yours?
Nothing quite like technology when it just works! This has made a massive difference to the way I put schemes together, and it works a treat for clients too - pretty impressive to be able to build a scheme right there in front of their eyes!
Hope all is well in your worlds and wishing you a hassle-free weekend that moves at whatever pace you want it to.
Til next time,
Nx

Very clever. Obviously it's similar to the Adobe Collage that I found. Isn't it great when you find things that are oh so helpful and cheap to boot. Good work Nic.
As for favourites - I like the second one. Love that wallpaper. For your favourite, as we always seem to be on the same wavelength, I would guess number 2 for you. But they are both so nice it really is hard to choose.
Talk soon

Modern technologies give designers the opportunity to realize their ideas easier. Great post.
