3D와 캐드 프로그램 개발사로 디자이너들은 모르는 사람이 없을 만큼 잘 알려진 회사인 오토데스크(Autodesk)에서 이번에 흥미로운 소프트웨어를 제공하고 있어 화제다. Sketchbook mobile이라는 iPhone용 App인데 기존의 오토데스트사의 제품인 Sketch Pro의 인터페이스를 간소화 시킨 App이다. 현재 Sketch Pro는 90달러 선에서 판매되고 있어 저렴하면서 많은 인기를 누리고 있는 제품 중에 하나이다. 하지만 이번에 선보인 Sketchbook mobile은 그보다 한참 저렴하고 App store에서 판매되고 있는 다른 App와 가격이 동일한 2.99달러에 판매되고 있어 선풍적인 인기를 끌고 있다. 이 App의 장점은 iPhone을 들고 다니며 디자인을 할 수 있는 기동성과 다른 스케치툴과는 비교할 수 없는 쉬운 인터페이스를 자랑하고 있다.

으아~ 아쉽다. 우리나라에는 언제 iPhone이 나오냔 말이다. 자기 배 채우기 위해 고객이 누려야할 권리를 그들의 말도 안되는 경제관념으로 국민 전체적으로 손실을 보고 있다는 점에선 우리나라 예니 지금이나 나라를 움직이게 하는 머리 빈 정치인들이나 경제인들 정말 워망스럽다.

myPANTONE App puts color library in your iPhone

The release of a new iPhone App is sure to please graphic designers, decorators and artists who work with Pantone colors. Pantone has been the industry standard in color for many years, but carrying around a Pantone book full of color palettes hasn’t always been practical. And they’re expensive books to lose, too. Pantone LLC has launched myPANTONE, a digital app for iPhones that gives designers more flexibility when choosing and working with Pantone palettes.

“myPANTONE marries the power of the iPhone with the inspiration of Pantone Color Palettes, enabling designers to be creative whenever inspiration strikes them,” said Andy Hatkoff, vice president of technology licensing for Pantone. “Providing a digital, portable design studio and essential color tools at their fingertips, myPANTONE gives designers the freedom to access Pantone Colors anywhere, without the need to be in their office or carry around cumbersome guides.”

Hatkoff said with myPANTONE’s Portable Color Memory, designers no longer need to struggle to recall an exact color.

myPANTONE gives designers access to all the Pantone Color Libraries, including the Pantone Matching System (PMS) for coated, uncoated and matte stock; the Pantone Goe System for coated and uncoated stock; Pantone Pastels for coated and uncoated stock; and the Pantone Fashion + Home Smart Color System. The application lets designers create harmonious color palettes by finding complementary, analogous and triadic combinations for selected colors.

Hatkoff said myPANTONE uses the iPhone’s built-in camera to allow designers to capture whatever inspires them – from architecture and street scenes to fashion and nature. Colors can be extracted from any photo on the iPhone and then matched to the closest Pantone colors.

The beauty of a digital version of the Pantone palettes is that once they’re created, users can share their color choices and combinations with other iPhone users and automatically post notification of new palettes to Facebook and Twitter, attaching text notes and voice annotations to palettes when posting.

Designers with impatient clients can email their color choices to clients as color patches, or as application-ready swatch files for use in design applications including Adobe Creative Suite, CorelDraw and QuarkXPress.

Sharing with other designers is easy using the Pantone-hosted Website.

Each color swatch in myPANTONE includes sRGB, HTML and L*a*b* values. Additionally, myPANTONE makes cross-referencing color capabilities simple for users to find similar colors among the various Pantone Color Libraries.

myPANTONE is available for download at the Apple iPhone App Store for USD$9.99. myPANTONE is compatible with iPhone OS 3.0 or higher, and can be used on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
