The  App Store has countless applications on offer. So in an endeavor to find more uses for my iPhone I have recently been using some of the more creative apps.

myPantone

This is my favourite app at the moment. The most useful feature is the ability to pick colours from a photo and save the swatches for use in Adobe’s Creative Suite.

PS Mobile

This is a cut down version of Adobe Photoshop but is handy for adjusting colours of images before emailing or uploading them.

The Typography Manual

This is a great resource for anybody interested in the rules and aesthetics of type!

Flickr

Upload photos on the move to the most popular online photo management site.

QEF are leaders in specialist training and rehabilitation services for disabled people. Oyster won the job of rebranding the organisation. After nine months of managed consultation Oyster delivered a client-driven solution which included changing the name to an acronym, a comprehensive graphic overhaul and adding an updated slogan expressing the value of the work the charity does. QEF now have a united and communicative brand image which uses words, image and colour strategically. We also suggested using the URL as a part of the communication. When you are lucky enough to own the three-letter-acronym-dot-org-dot-uk as your URL you have to shout about it!

Oyster applied the corporate ID across QEF’s website, shops and main centre’s signage, exhibition materials and the vehicle fleet.

In addition a marque has been developed to commemorate the 75th Anniversary.
