We didn't create an app (yet) but we did create an iPhone specific version of our web site with a design / architecture specific to the iPhone's size and capabilities. Try before you fly, I guess.
Here's our blog post about it - http://www.dripbo...
Share comments, questions and information on prepress systems, tools and problems. This group created by AAAS/Science Director, David Tompkins, covers everything related to prepress from photography and layout through prepress automation.
We have a corporate-wide DAM system similar to what Oleg describes that works with our CMS. It's definitely worth the six figures we spent on it. However, our editorial system is still such that there isn't anything to tie into the DAM--we're stil...
We switched from a 70# Opus to a 70# Somerset last year, and saved about $10,000/yr. We're restricted in going much further because of the need to maintain high standards of photo reproduction. As a result, we've had to slightly reduce our page co...
