Created by the VectorBloom Technologies development team. The Custom Mobile Greetings App Starter Kit is a great solution for Artists, Photographers or Illustrators who wish to promote their portfolio of work in an iPhone App. Equally a wonderful marketing tool or commercial app for those in the stationery business.
Based on the template used in the 'ArtCards by Elizabeth Boylan' App for iOS. Starter Kit includes custom and editable fonts, Carousel style layout for large number of Portrait format of Digital Artwork, Illustration or Photography to send via email, MMS, save to photos, post to Facebook Wall or Friends Wall and Tweet to Twitter.
Accelerometer Driven
Carousel responds to accelerometer, to browse through illustrations.
Endless Customization within Plist File
For simplicity, the ability to set variables for default fonts, location of Text, and text placement upon the background of custom artwork. Code allows user to pinch, zoom or drag to edit text placement or rotate text. Includes ability for setting the RGBA values of text within plist file to match custom artwork.
Instructions Page and Web Views
Biography page and UI WebView for Social Media Web Views. Text for 'Instructions' Page can be interchanged with the 'Biography' Page.
Beyond most Ecard apps the template has a larger view for each 'Card' from the main screen. Inspired from Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro the pinch zoom or drag gesture enables users to position their text greeting within the Card as well as shrink or blow up the size of their text.
High Resolution HTML Email Greetings
We've coded the app to take a snap shot of each custom greeting to allow for device specific resolution. Highest resolution Cards are created with retina display devices and are sent as HTML emails rather than a link to a url for a user to view their 'ecard'.
Twitter Integration for iOS 5
As of iOS 5 Users are able to beautifully Tweet their custom card to their Twitter Account Feed.
Facebook and Facebook Friends
What better way to wish friends Happy Birthday on Facebook than tagging them with a custom greeting card. Custom ArtCards are also a great way to share invitations, announcements or significant life change events on the back drop of custom illustration or artwork.
