I’ve always been fascinated by line engravings for some reason. So when the developer of Vectoraster emailed me about its new version because I had blogged about the app in 2009 (remember my blog? remember when I took time to write more than 140 characters about any given subject? madness! just writing this here post has taken, like, dozens of minutes — who has the time?) of course I wanted to play with it.
What has happened in five years? The app has more options, a nice interface and all that but, more importantly, my iPhone, iPad, and Mac all have a Retina screen. I had been thinking lately about how good line engravings should look on Retina screens — and yes, they do. I remade my iPhone’s background with the free demo and played a bit with my latest photos, and it looks as awesome as ever.
I’m lobbying the developer for an iOS version, because I’d really love to post stuff like this on Instagram — take advantage of both the Retina screen and the oversized A7 processor.
Sorry for the seven-megabyte post. Or is that even something that still requires an apology in this day and age?
