This week’s Five Apps Friday is designer David McDonald who has worked professionally in the creative industry since 1981. He was trained ‘old-school’ style in typography, illustration, photography and design and now applies what he has learned from experience to his workflow on the Mac.
Picking just 5 apps is tough! I could recommend probably 10 for the Mac and 10 for the iPhone! I have decided to put in the ones I use day in day out and would be lost without. I must apologise in advance for the extra geeky IT nerd ones.
This week’s FaF is local student, blogger, and social animal Ciarán Madden. Ciarán is probably most importantly is the Chief Organiser of CupcakeCamp Ireland. He is currently working on extending CupcakeCamp from it’s roots in Belfast into Dublin this year.
Mac-wise I’m just a massive Apple fanboy moving from the dark side of Microsoft around 3 years ago now and never looked back. Professionally I’m the Director of Product Marketing for Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management solutions. We create some really exciting offerings for reducing the energy consumption in buildings, data centers, industrial plant as well as making buildings secure and comfortable. I’m also a Brit living in Boston, USA.
This week’s Five Apps Friday is a little special as we have one of my favourite female artists Beth Rowley talking us through her favourite iPod Touch applications.
Beth has a spectacular voice and tremendous song writing talent. Fusing a vintage sound & sensibility with a joyous, contemporary edge, she really is essential listening. If you have not heard any of Beth’s work then check out the video at the bottom of the post.
This week’s Five Apps Friday candidate is Nick Spence. Nick is Macworld’s online news editor, reviewer and blogger who also freelances for a number of clients. Nick takes us through his Five favourite iPhone applications.
Elle Stevenson is one of the most promising female solo artists to hail from Belfast. Elle takes us through her five favourite Mac Apps.
I’ve picked 5 of the most useful, but perhaps lesser-known, mac applications that I found through browsing various mac user websites over the last few years, and the really great thing about all of them is they’re entirely free! I’ve included a link after each so you can download and try them out for yourself.
