Adobe Touch Apps – desired improvements
As I begin this post, I must stress that I am incredibly impressed with the initial versions of Adobe Touch apps on the Android Market. I have obtained Proto, Photoshop Touch, Ideas, Kuler, and Debut. I make the assumption that these apps will be updated at some point in the […]
Read MoreAdobe Touch App – Ideas Overview
Another Adobe Touch App I have been experimenting with on my Samsung Galaxy Tab is Ideas. This is mostly an app to allow one to sketch/ draw using a tablet. One can either draw using a blank canvas or one can import a photo and add a new drawing layer […]
Read MoreAdobe Touch App – Kuler overview
The next Adobe Touch App I wanted to review is kuler. This app is similar to the features you can experience on the WWW at http://kuler.adobe.com. The big advantage to using the Touch app on a tablet is the ability to work offline. For comparison purposes, I provide a screen […]
Read MorePhotoshop Touch CheatSheet
I have been working with several Adobe Touch Apps since they have been released. Although Proto is one I am using frequently for web design work, I also find I am using Photoshop Touch frequently as well. Since I put together a Proto cheatsheet (which has been well received), I […]

Read MoreAdobe Proto – The Code
This is part of a continuing series of posts dealing with the Adobe Touch App – Proto. I have been examining this (downloaded from the Android Market and installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1). Previous posts in this series included: Proto Cheatsheet, Form Design with Adobe Proto, and Adobe […]
Read MoreAdobe Proto Navigation and Wireframe
Now that I have created a “cheatsheet” for common Proto gestures and discussed creation of a form with Proto, I thought it time to turn my attention to the process of creating a prototype website (with working navigation). I am creating a wireframe for a site I created with Adobe […]
Read MoreForm Design with Adobe Proto
Now that the semester is winding down, I wanted to spend some time experimenting with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Adobe Proto. To me this is a key tool to rapidly create wireframes. It is also something which I think needs to be incorporated into our web curricula. Therefore, […]

For those who might get easily bored on this “Black Friday,” I offer the following short post on fun with Google. Just visit Google.com and try some of the following search terms. I suppose it should go without saying that you want to use a modern browser (which would not […]
Read MoreProto CheatSheet
I have been working with Adobe Touch apps for a while and I occurred to me that someone may want a “cheat sheet” to help with specific gestures and menu items. Ok, I sometimes forget how to draw a dropdown list using a gesture. I created this list as a […]
Read MoreKindle Fire Screen Captures
In my simple view of the world, it should be relatively easy to take a screen capture of what I see on a smart phone or tablet. Why would I want to? I often need to show students what a given environment looks like. Using a document camera or some […]
Read MoreTablets and Web Design
Those who know me realize I am not a fan of paper. I have not provided paper handouts to my students since 2000. Personally, I find it much easier to organize and locate digital materials.I don’t think I am alone in this view. Of course, a big problem is having […]
Read MoreHow to email your professor
Having just gone through several episodes of email miscommunication, I thought it might be appropriate to put some notes together regarding the best approach to sending email to your professor (that would be me). It is important to recognize that I receive well over 100 email messages per day and […]
Read MoreIntermediate Twitter
Assuming you have decided to take initial steps into the Twitter ecosystem, I thought it might be appropriate to cover additional tools and websites which can help manage the information “overload.” Yes, 140 characters doesn’t seem like much, but there can be a fair amount of information when you start […]
