Chalkspiration Offers All The Fun Of Chalkboard Art, But Without The Dust
Chalkboard art is making a comeback – at least that’s according to one developer, JixiPix Software. In celebration of this renaissance, JixiPix has brought a brand new application called Chalkspiration to the App Store, which promises users all the fun of chalkboard art in a virtual, dust-free environment. You can pick up the iPhone application for $1.99, and an iPad version – Chalkspiration HD – is available, too, for $2.99.
Promising iOS device users a “new creative canvas for business design, events, and home décor,” JixiPix explains in the app’s release notes that Chalkspiration “starts by automatically converting your image to chalky outlines with light shading then allows you to place objects from a library of included flourishes, banners, embellishments and fonts.” Users can either pick out a preset template, or they can create their own using a selection of in-app image editing tools.
From here, Chalkspiration users then get to finalize their creation. Features of the application include:
- Two chalk styles - one that shades on the inside of the lines and one that shades on the out
- A library of embellishments, banners, flourishes and dividers
- A way to add and edit text from within the app
- A powerful brush to colorize chalk
- An erase brush to remove unwanted chalk from images and clipart
- A variety of dusty looking blackboards
- The ability to add multiple images and your personal clipart
- The ability to resize, flip and rotate images and clipart from within the app
- An array of presets and customizable templates
- A way to save your project in a preset for future use
Both applications also allow iOS device users to share their creations using email, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
