5 Creative Mobile Apps

Adobe Photoshop Touch is one of the apps I found very creative.  This app lets you apply professional effects, combine images, and share these with your friends and family through social networking sites.  This app is available for both iPads, iPhones, and Androids.  With this app, you can also sync your files to Adobe Creative Cloud and open them in Photoshop.

Another app that I found that was very interesting and creative was Mark On Call.  This app is very similar to the Floor Planner site we used in class at the beginning of the semester.  This app allows you to use your interior and architecture skills or plan the arrangement of things in a room.  This app would be a wonderful way for teachers or speech therapists to design their classroom or office right on their mobile phone. 

Sketcher 3D is an app that is used to create three-dimensional shapes.  This is a great app for people to create objects or design buildings and spaces.  Anyone could use this app for whatever they are thinking about building.  You could use this app to build a house, car, anything!  You can move, rotate, and scale your objects that you create on your device.

I've always wanted to create my own beat or music.  I have a Mac laptop, but GarageBand confuses me.  This app called Caustic 2 is an app that allows anyone to create digital music with their smartphone or tablet.  It contains synthesizers, samplers, and a sequencer.  People that have reviewed this app have given it an average rate of 4.8 out of 5.  This app is very user friendly and a great way to explore digital music.

I do not have the creativity for drawing, but I imagine if I did, I would often times get inspirations in random places.  Artists can not carry around a large sketchpad and pencils with them all the time, so there is an app that allows you to sketch right on your smartphone or tablet.  This app is called Sketji.  It is a sketching app that allows you to draw strokes on the "canvas" and the app makes it look like the sketch had been drawn with a real brush.
