Graffiti Creator Pro 2.0 and Graffiti Creator: Quick Spray

There are two big announcements of the week:

Graffiti Creator: Quick Spray has been released, which is a free version containing 3 fonts and no background image support. However, features and tools like Effects, Layering, and FullScreen mode are still present.

The user has the option of buying one of three Font Packs. Each of these Font Packs unlocks all of the 19 system fonts and background image support, along with 4 unique, custom fonts. The price for each Font Pack is $0.99 USD.

Also,

Graffiti Creator will now be known as Graffiti Creator Pro. Version 2.0 has been created and submitted to Apple for review. New features include:

• New Kingthings_Spikeless Font
• Overall bug fixes and stability improvements
• Bug that caused crashing during removal of effects fixed
• Faster and cleaner rendering of FullScreen mode
• Image Resolution Recommendation Utility - recommends what image resolution you should choose to display your image based on its size. This is done to maximize performance.
• 1-Push Layer - Layering does not require the 2-step process of saving to Photos then re-using as background. Now, you can layer Graffiti in one step.
• Slightly more consistent and flashy UI

Thanks to everyone who has downloaded Graffiti Creator or Graffiti Creator: Quick Spray. I hope you enjoy it and have fun!

Graffiti Creator v2.0

Initial planning for Graffiti Creator version 2.0 has begun. This update will completely overhaul the user interface, having the Graffiti Preview on screen, full screen, all the time with hide-able toolbars displaying the several drawing tools. 

Also, a tutorial will be included , describing how to layer Graffiti within an image, and how to import images from the Photos app and use them as the background. Maybe a few videos, too. The layering wiring will also be redone, allowing for instant-layering instead of 1.) saving to Photos, 2.) import and use as new background. 

Possible new line drawing options, such as dashed, and maybe even patterned lines.

Release Date: End of Year 2009

Many thanks to everyone around the world who has downloaded Graffiti Creator!

New Features.

- Selecting pattern stroke color with Color tool is now available.

- Upgraded Gradient tool and UI. Now you can specify the exact interpolation of the gradient colors, allowing for unique and custom gradients.

Bug fixes.

- Fixed a bug that displayed the "Black" color button in BW rather than RGBA color mode.

Thank you for your continued use of the Graffiti Creator for iPhone App.

Special Thanks to Kevin King, creator of the Kingthings line of fonts.

This Graffiti is an example of keeping it simple: you don't need advanced patterns or even gradients to make sick Graffiti. This graffiti works well because the colors complement each other so well. Inspired by an NBA Street mentality.

This is a cool example of the kinds of effects that the patterns allow. By lowering the opacity of the green pattern color, it looks like this Hulk graffiti has veins, which is appropriate for the deezed Hulk.
