Why the iPhone 7 Has to Simulate a Shallow Depth of Field

Fred Showker's Creative Tidbits

Why do the new iPhone 7 phones have to simulate a shallow depth of field? The short answer: physics.
      Most photographers know that creating a shallow depth of field (DOF) is usually as easy as using a big aperture (of course, using a longer focal length helps). Even a 35mm lens on a full frame sensor at f/1.4 can still create a relatively shallow DOF with a close subject.

A designer’s tales: Role of graphic design in society

Fred Showker's Creative Tidbits

Graphic design is very often confused with DTP (Desktop Publishing) and that is one of the main reasons why a real professional graphic designer very rarely gets his due.

iPhone Stand For Business, Trade-Shows And Events

Fred Showker's Creative Tidbits

A little creativity goes a long way, and if you’re a graphic designer, you can probably dream up a dozen ways you could use these to promote your business or broker to your clients to promote theirs! And if you know a fab shop or signmaking department with a CnC machine and a laser burner, you could make these yourself for an eighth of what these cost — and sell to your clients! Or, better yet — find out if they have a to-the-trade discount / commission! Just sayin’!
      Smartphone Coasters are 4 1/2″ circular clear acrylic discs with non-skid clear bumpers. The center slot is large enough to hold all Smartphones and is designed to work with most cases.
Company name or logo can be engraved on the clear acrylic surface, ensuring the most prominent position. Minimum orders for custom logos start as low as 75 units with prices ranging from $5.95 to $4.95 (USD) each depending on quantity.
