Adobe Proto - Wire framing on a tablet device

You may have already seen this but Adobe Proto is an interactive Wire Framing tool that allows you to create wireframes on a tablet device then test it out (Android only though ATM). Great if your project is tablet specific or has a large part of it centered around tablets. But it looks a little awkward to use in some cases and its not out yet for iphone/ipad. That said I would still like to try it out...

Trapcode Particular 2 experiment

Love this stuff.... Trapcode 2 is a plugin for Adobe After Effects that allows you to simulate particles physics. Its pretty powerful and Ive used Trapcode V1 before but you need to have a pretty heafty machine behind you to process anything heavy weight or video intensive.

 

short experiment with trapcode particular v2.
