KinetixMedia and Anastasia part 2
It’s been 4 weeks now? Wow time flies supper fast! I’m learning so much about marketing at Kinetix Media.
This week I have started working on some amazing projects (cant tell you what they are), but can tell you one thing…I am so exited and happy that Kinetix giving me this opportunity!
Speaking about my stated goals, I would say that I am learning more about marketing business then interactive design. However where else would I get this kind of experience.

Realizer from Rethink
Introducing the free interactive tool that helps you create presentation prototypes for iPhone and iPad apps.
The Realizer lets you create your very own presentation prototypes of iPhone and iPad apps. Hence the name Realizer- because it actually enables you to realize something.
With the Realizer, you can start building from a simple sketch or take it a step further with a tighter, more finished photo comp. Either way, the Realizer turns your traditional app presentation into an interactive one – resulting in a more rewarding user experience. And the best part? The Realizer is dead simple to use and it’s free. Which means any art director, designer, strategist, or even your most technically challenged client can build their own prototype app in minutes.

Playbutton
Playbutton – a button that plays music. I am romantically attracted to this idea. But I am not sure if I would actually buy one off the shelf, especially since I have not looked at a music store shelf in some time now. I have not been in a music store in over a year.
I suppose if the price is right, then I would pick one up.
