An eventful year 2010 is now almost behind us. During this time our blog developed into a constant source of articles, tutorials, collections and much more you hopefully enjoy reading.
Photoshop Tutorial: Realistic snowfall
21.12.2010, 10:05Photoshop CS5 Tutorial
Today’s tutorial probably fits the season like none other. :) In case you haven’t seen enough snow yet, I’ll show how to simulate realistic snowfall in Photoshop. I picked an image of the famous, rebuilt Frauenkirche in Dresden (Germany). It was unmistakably snapped in winter but lacks the idyllic curtain of snow coming from above. I’m going to add it now. The steps are fairly simple and easy to follow. To ease understanding of the single steps I included loads of pictures to show you what to do. Enjoy!
[App of the week] Shopsavvy

This week’s app is a great helper for your everyday life. Especially your bank account will come to love it. Shopsavvy allows you to scan barcodes of products or search them by keyword to compare prices on the go. There’s a ton of apps out there which can do that for you, but Shopsavvy seems to be one of the best at the moment.

All of last week we had a special guest here at our headquarters. Mallorca based fitness coach Luis took the time to come here and do some exclusive training with our staff. As you don’t get the opportunity every other day, many staff members took it to do some serious workout with a top coach. In our interview he shares his amazing story and what he learned while being here. Enjoy!

The 10 best iPhone videos
09.12.2010, 10:44The 10 best iPhone videos
It’s not too long ago when people were in awe of a simple but nevertheless revolutionary camera in a phone. The first pictures taken with these early specimens were really crappy and were nowhere close to competing with normal cameras. That has changed lately. Megapixels were increased and sensors improved. A growing number of people rely only on camera phones for their holiday shots and are satisfied with the results.
Photoshop CS5 tutorial: Puppet Warp
07.12.2010, 13:15warp or bend objects and shapes
In this Photoshop CS5 tutorial I want to introduce you to another new feature, which is a great helper for digital image editing. The function is called “Puppet Warp” and allows you to warp or bend objects and shapes. It’s a bit like playing master of puppets. ;)

[App of the Week] Park Me
02.12.2010, 10:34find your car
Today I’ll introduce a small app which doesn’t really attract attention with exceptional design or a wealth of options. But quite often an app becomes great due to a reduction down to the necessary in the first place.
Rise of the WebApp

When I wrote about mobile apps lately and the influence they have on our mobile internet experience I already mentioned webapps as a side note. A very recent post by Mashable’s own Christina Warren and her earlier article about the „iPadification of the web” brought me back on the topic.
