Apple Store Talk 8.2010



I spoke on behalf of Research Studios at the Apple Store on Regent Street (London) as part of the launch event for Granimator's new creator packs. Granimator is a creative iPad app that allows you to create artworks using elements supplied by renowned designers and illustrators. I gave some insight to the working practices of Research Studios, explained the concept and process of creating our pack, concluding with video previews of the pack in action. Other speakers included: Kate Moross; Airside; Creative Review; and David Henckel.




This is 'Floating Buffalo'––a manipulated version of Neville Brody's 'Buffalo' typeface––one of the five new typefaces developed for our pack entitled 'Double-Dip'.


This and the following two images show example compositions we created using an iPad.

Video 02: This shows how mashing the iPad is just as rewarding. The awesome sonic palette is by Thomas Le Beau Morley of Suffer Like G Did.
