While the iPad is mostly a media consumption device for surfing the web, reading e-mails, and watching movies, there are some amazing apps like GarageBand and Keynote apps that make it a really creative tool for producing media. Another such app is Mixel for the iPad – an iOS5 app that truly engages your artistic abilities, or just your willingness to have fun with images, shapes, and letters.

Have you ever watched a masterful expert perform their work with such skill and passion that you had no choice but to watch and admire in awe? As I scour the Internet from day to day, I run into videos of these masters every once in a while. And every time, I can’t help but stare in wonder and respect. An artisan is a craftsman who is a master of their field.

Admit it, playing around with image editing tools such as Photoshop and GIMP can be pretty fun, depending on what you’re trying to do. Virtually anything can be done with these tools, from some simple photo touch-ups all the way to creating impressive graphics from scratch. However, it’s not as fun if you only have an idea and you don’t actually know how to do it.

When I was just a kid – about 9 years old – my brother and I would purchase those new computer magazines that had all kinds of neat programs and other “computer tricks” in them. Back then, computer programs consisted of BASIC software that you could type into the terminal a line at a time, save it on the floppy disk and then run it to watch some fun ASCII-based graphics or game flash across the screen.

Designing the perfect logo requires an in-depth understanding of the company, the product, the consumers, and the culture in which all these operate. But what if you are starting out with your own small business and need a logo? Costs come in the way of hiring the best logo designers. The makeshift answer could be to look for some creative logo inspiration and design a logo yourself.

As a video production student, I still don’t know what direction I’m going in. I don’t know if I want to make music videos, and I don’t know if I want to make documentaries. I could be doing corporate video, or I could be operating a TV camera at a football game. So when I’m feeling frantic and disoriented in life, I go to the Internet to gain insight on what people are doing with their video careers.

Have you ever had the feeling as the end credits roll, that you could do a better job than the director or script writer? We are all closet ‘creative geniuses’, aren’t we! We live our fantasies and dreams in our minds and see them realized by someone else on celluloid. That’s why the magic of movies catches us and refuses to let go.

Building a computer is no longer a particularly unusual task, nor even the reserve of hardcore geeks. It’s actually a rather simple process that tasks patience more than knowledge. PCI slots, SATA ports and motherboard power connectors are fool-proof – it’s just a matter of what goes where. More experienced computer geeks maybe even find the task (dare I say it!) boring.
