Paper App for iPad to create Presentation Slides

Carlo Ople — Sat, 12 May 2012 12:37:54 +0000

The Paper App for the iPad is a lifesaver for those who are regularly in the speaking circuit. Just recently I gave a talk to Christian bloggers and I realized that I needed to change my deck because most of the attendees were still starting their journey in blogging. The material I made was for advanced bloggers already. I excused myself from the conference hall, whipped out my iPad and Adonit Jot Pro Stylus, and drew new slides. It was a great decision since the talk went well because the material was much more relevant to the audience.

Here were some of the quick slides that I made:

This is my favorite chart... ever. Always strive to be in the center of this.

Couldn't think of a way to illustrate passion so I just decided to draw Superman, lol.

Stick figures for the win!

Paper is free to download in the App store but you will need to shell out a couple of dollars to be able to buy all the pens. If you need to create illustrations and artworks though it’s worth every centavo.

Nokia takes bloggers underwater, to the air, and in the kitchen

Nokia Philippines sent out an invitation a few weeks ago for a trial run of their newest smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 610. To stay true to their “Amazing Everyday” tagline, Nokia asked bloggers and media to pick between three events that they can join: an underwater adventure, a helicopter ride, or a cooking class with a degustation lunch. This was definitely an extraordinary way to deliver a message and to let bloggers and media to experience the capabilities of the Nokia Lumia 610.

Nokia Lumia invite

Congratulations to Nokia for this successful endeavor. Looking forward to seeing more innovation in blogger event activities in the future!

PS: One of our writers attended the Helicopter Ride adventure. We will write about it on a separate entry on Unbox.
