Remix! with CreativeMornings 

This month we’ve partnered with popular breakfast lecture series CreativeMornings to bring you 31 Days of Collaboration. It’s no secret that there is a breadth of talent across both of our communities, so what better way to bring everyone together than with a month of collaboration?

In the spirit of CreativeMornings’ July theme, the CM team will be featuring remixes made with Paper from around the world.

Introducing Think Kit.

Today, we’re proud to announce the next generation of tools in Paper called Think Kit – three new tools to bring brainstorming and whiteboarding into the mobile age.

Think Kit’s Diagram, Fill, and Cut tools make it fast and easy to draw charts, diagrams, graphs, flows, wireframes, and models. Use them to sketch perfect shapes and connectors, and create presentation­-ready visual model. Anything you create can then be exported directly to PowerPoint, Keynote, or your favorite iPad apps, and shared with colleagues everywhere.

Think Kit includes:

Diagram. A smart pen with style. Think Kit’s Diagram tool lets you draw objects, straight lines, connectors, and arrowheads.

Cut. Rearrange and move shapes or words around on the screen. The Cut tool has a manual mode to draw freeform selection areas, or use Smart Cut to automatically select shapes without switching tools.

Fill. Fill existing shapes with color, or draw new shapes with the color fills. Like the Cut tool, Fill has a manual and Smart mode, where you simply tap to fill a shape in with color.

Presentation-Ready. Export your creations to PowerPoint or Keynote with our custom­-designed presentation templates that make your diagrams look great. 

Share Anywhere. Paper’s new sharing menu lets you open work in Paper in myriad other apps, including Trello, Slack, Dropbox, Box, and more. Export entire journals in PDF or PowerPoint format, or choose individual pages.

Smart Shapes. Founded on years of scientific research, Intention Engine™ is our trademark drawing recognition and rendering system. It detects and corrects dozens of shapes sketched in real-­time – all while preserving the uniqueness and feel of hand-drawn lines.

At FiftyThree, we believe that everyone is creative, and that creativity can be unleashed with the right tools. We’re excited to broaden Paper’s toolset to enable more people – from any field or role – to show their ideas effortlessly with tools that work as fast as they do.

Think Kit is entirely free, and comes as an automatic update for existing Paper users.

CREATE A DIFFERENCE WITH (RED)

FiftyThree is proud to announce our partnership with Apple in Apps for (RED). Apps for (RED) is a two-week campaign to raise awareness and funds for (RED), a leading charity in the fight against AIDS, and we’d love for you to join us.

In support, we developed a (Paper)RED Essentials Kit that includes all the essential tools–Draw, Sketch, Outline, Write, Color, and Mixer. This limited edition Essentials Kit is now available in the App Store for $6.99 until December 7th. All proceeds will go to The Global Fund.

Wondering how you can join if you already have the tools? Join (RED) on Mix! Follow (RED) to remix sketches by creators from all over the world, as well as featured guest creators.

Child AIDS activist Nkosi Johnson once said: “Do all you can with what you have, in the time you have, in the place you are.” No step is too small to take in the fight against AIDS. Write a word of encouragement or sketch how AIDS has impacted you, and share it with others on Mix. Together we can raise awareness and help (RED) deliver the first AIDS-free generation in thirty years.
