The history of prepress

Interesting article about the history of prepress. Should be interesting for the younger people (like me). For older people this is probably pretty obvious though, but I didn't know much of this. I mean, CorelDRAW is older then me :P

Mac Jewelry


It's kinda hilarious in my oppinion. This store was is making jewelry from recycled Mac products but now has such a high demand it is buying buttons from Apple to keep producing the jewelry.

Maybe a nice present for Christmas?

ps: I'm not advertising, I just found it pretty funny ^^

How to Make Custom and Free iPhone Ringtones on Mac

There are plenty of songs in your iTunes library, but no way to make ringtones from any of them after Apple released iTunes 8 – which brought with it Genius Playlists. Although iTunes allows you to make ringtones from a song downloaded through the iTunes Music Store, those ringtones all come with fees. No one wants to pay for a song twice to get a ringtone.

With all these following features:
- Convert virtually any audio/video format;
- Flexible Ringtone Management;
- Direct Connection with iTunes Library;
- Accurate Trimming with Waveform;
- Just 1-Click Transfer;
- Fade in/ out Effect;

This iPhone Ringtone Maker for Mac will help you create custom and free iPhone ringtone from any song or video you like in only 4 easy steps. Wanna know more? The following guide will show you.

Step1: Launch the Program and Connect Your iPhone


Step 2: Import a Song or Video
You can either choose a song /video in iTunes library or directly drag one from your hard disk.

Step 3: Trim the Audio/Video File to Start Making
Use the blue slide bar to trim the file you import. You can also set the length of the ringtone by typing the exact time value into the time-setting boxes.

The program also allows you to add Fade in/out function (up to 5 seconds)effect and pre-listen to the ringtone you made.

Step 4: Export Ringtone to Your iPhone
Select "Transfer to iPhone" and click "Start", the ringtone made will be transferred to iPhone. Click "Start" alone, the Ringtone will then be in iTunes.
Tip: Here you can rename the ringtone you made

Step 5: Ringtone Manager (Optional)
Click the "Ringtone Manager" in the lower right corner. You can now manage all the ringtones by transferring them between iTunes and iPhone. You can also delete or play them.

You can now let your iPhone sing your song.

Label Swap

I found this really interesting. Came across some girl on deviantART who did this project, not sure if I should place it here or forum but I wanted to share it. Make sure you read the description as well, I think it's worth it =)

Could be a great idea for marketing campaign, mixing products =)
