On My Radar – Eight Apps for a Desert Island with WiFi by Deborah McMillion from the United States

This not a travel guide and if you read the reviews a lot of people don’t understand that, to various degrees of hilarity.  Its a surrealist guide and that means every single page has reviews, bits of poetry, peculiar translations, letters, you name it. It is illustrated profusely with drawings, engravings and collage. Every time I read a page it changes. It’s a book that I actually take down from the bookcase and use. Often. And for various reasons!  I always keep used copies on hand when someone is going to Paris and will understand the need for this Guide ($5 used on Amazon). This is not your well-thumbed Baedeker but it will be well thumbed.

iPad Pro and Pencil. -starting with the 3G phone and Zeusdraw mobile I went from sending little paintings to friends  to making it my studio. I do believe what is loaded on purchase includes Safari, Pages, etc. (heehee).

Sketchbook this is where everything comes together, blends, modes, tints, colors. It’s my box of paints all scarred and covered with vintage flamingoes.

Effects and filters like hot wax and plaster effect amongst othersTo make my paper dolls and their stuff.

Perhaps only 1 layer, perhaps all. I’ll choose toon because the Detailing works magic.

BAMBOO let’s you choose 2line titles, textured and coloured covers. Lined, storyboard, etc. insides. Similar to Moleskin notebooks. You can import images, draw on or around them and import type. And you can send a 20 page pdf. booklet.

I need stars, moons, flashes of light, lightning, rings,  many atmospheric effects , everything but birds. Those I photograph myself.

It looks like a comic book layout and that is what it started out as, but it’s my favorite layout or collage app. Layout comics, ‘Zines, artwork grids, this is high Rez, the borders and text can be coloured, textured, aged, it has warped and 3d text, In short if you don’t know it-Trade you ‘Zines?
