Adobe Kuler 

Speaking of DF RSS feed sponsors, my thanks to this week’s, Adobe Kuler.

Kuler is a new app for iOS designed for creating, sharing, and finding color themes. It’s very fun, and useful for any designer. It’s connected to Creative Cloud, so you can do things like capture colors from a photo using your iPhone, and then have a color palette based on that image show up in Illustrator. And: Kuler is a free download.

Shocker.

Hypercritical T-Shirts 2.0 

Only problem is picking a color. (Marco Arment has more on why Siracusa had to do this over again.)

Apple and Change 

John Moltz:

iOS 7 isn’t complete yet, and we can hope that some of the eyesores will get refined (straight into a shallow grave). So, yes, let’s nitpick about icon design, and the apps that still have textures, and whatever else seems off. But Apple has set the overall direction. All that’s left for developers to do is to decide what business they want to be in.

Looks a little different than Android’s numbers.

Great apology.

Instagram Adds Video, Ruins Instagram 

They did this to spite Vine (and Twitter, which owns Vine), not because it makes Instagram better, because it doesn’t make Instagram better, it makes it worse. Slow to load, noise I don’t want, bursts their bubble of simplicity and focus. Thankfully there’s a setting to turn off “Auto-Play Videos”; otherwise I’d abandon ship.
