Top 5 Design Apps Posted: May 2012 Posted by: Mats Inc.

No matter what you are trying to do, organize your life, prepare a gourmet meal or level a wall hanging there seem to be apps for just about everything. Designing is no exception!  Here are our top 5 app recommendations.

Penultimate® for iPad: Import photos and write notes during client meetings, sketch when inspiration strikes, organize photos, measurements and documents by project and share your ideas.  It’s like having a pen and paper with you everywhere, only better!

ColorSnap® for iPhone/Android/BlackBerry: You can’t go wrong with any of the color matching apps out there, like ColorSnap® from Sherwin-Williams.  Use a photo from your library or one you just took to match paint colors, create palettes and more.

Keynote for iPad/iPhone/iPod: No need to juggle papers and a portfolio during presentations! Incorporate pictures, animation, information and more into a crisp, clean and visually-appealing client presentation.

Dropbox for iPhone: Share large files, photos and information with clients in this one easy location. Reduce email exchange; you and your clients can access the newest document in your shared dropbox quickly and easily from any web-capable device.

PaletteApp^™: We think this app has some serious potential!  Create project boards including fabric, flooring, wall finishes and more all available in one place.  You can even order all of the product samples with one simple click.
