Brian Yap's Adobe Ideas Debut

Brian Yap, Creative Director here at Boxing Clever, is a big fan of Adobe® Ideas, Adobe’s mobile sketching app. After showing the people at Adobe some of the illustrations he had done with the app, Boxing Clever was asked to create a fun and edgy brand visual for them to use as a showpiece for Adobe Ideas. Brian created the entire illustration on a tablet using Adobe Ideas and we couldn’t be more excited with the way it came out. The illustration and its elements will be used to create a consistent look for the product across the web, including the Adobe Ideas YouTube channel, blog, and Facebook page.

Adobe Ideas is a touchpad software app you can download to your iPad and iPhone that allows you to draw and sketch using a simple and powerful set of drawing tools and includes features like custom color themes and layers. The great thing about Ideas is that it is vector based and you can email a PDF of your project straight out of the app, and open it in Adobe® Illustrator and edit and resize for any professional use.

Adobe got a hold of some of Brian’s other drawings done with Adobe Ideas, and is now featured as an Adobe Ideas customer story here! Check out Brian’s artwork and download the app for yourself to see how it works.

Anvil Comes to Town

Get ready cuz Steve "Lips" Kudlow and company are going to be here in St. Louis for the next two days. Today they'll be at Vintage Vinyl signing autographs and tomorrow is a special performance at the Pageant where they take the stage after a showing of the "rockumentary" Anvil!

Anvil is finally seeing some deserved credit after wallowing in a haze of forgotten dreams for decades. While Anvil experienced the limelight in the 80's along with many other heavy metal bands, they never quite "broke through" and somehow got left behind. (A true to life Spinal Tap scenario, if you will). Their story is poignantly documented in the critically acclaimed film which helped revitalize Anvil's career and put them back on the road - touring with AC/DC and Saxon.

So come on out to Vintage Vinyl today. Be there by 6.
