3. Haiku Deck

https://www.haikudeck.com/

We’ve built Haiku Deck around presentation tips recommended by experts and designers. KEEP IT SIMPLE by limiting your text and focusing each slide on a single idea. MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL by building your story around high-impact images and keeping your formatting consistent. And, most of all, HAVE FUN. Fun is not a word most people associate with presentations, but we feel they should be fun to make and fun to listen to.

4. Library as Incubator

http://www.libraryasincubatorproject.org/

“The Library as Incubator Project was created by Erinn Batykefer, Laura Damon-Moore, and Christina Jones, and was inspired by a discussion about creative advocacy for libraries in one of their courses at the UW-Madison School of Library and Information Studies.The Project highlights the ways that libraries and artists can work together, and works to strengthen these partnerships. At a time in which both libraries and arts organizations are often having to do more with less, it makes sense for these two parts of our culture to support each other. The Library as Incubator Project calls attention to one of the many reasons libraries are important to our communities and our culture, and provides a dynamic online forum for sharing ideas.”

5. MOMA app

http://www.moma.org/explore/mobile/iphoneapp

“The volumes feature forty-seven works by Monet and twenty-five works by Renoir. Entries on the paintings and drawings include new art historical research and unprecedented high-resolution imaging that allows readers to zoom in to see the artist’s brushstrokes, as well as previously unpublished technical photography that unveils information hidden beneath the surface of the artwork through interactive, layered images showing X-ray, infrared, and other technical imaging. Conservation reports on each artwork offer in-depth studies of the artist’s process and incorporate new scientific data on his materials. Other features include a glossary, scanned archival materials, and biographical information about significant historical collectors for the museum.”

7. Sketchup Make or Sketchup Pro
