CHIPS Blend Library (iPhone | iPad App)

- - BETTER BY DESIGN - -

CHIPS Blend Library (iPhone | iPad App) lets you keep all 200 featured CHIPS blends in your pocket.  Do you go anywhere without your cellphone?  Why not have ready access to design options that will enable you to exceed customer expectations and outperform the competition? 

This user-friendly app was created with the same inspiration that guided the development of our other design tools -- good design should be intuitive, elegant, and efficient.

INTUITIVE

Like the CHIPS Blend Library FAN DECK, each image in this app was produced from an actual sample board created with a full-broadcast application of the specified blend top-coated with a high-gloss resin.  We then optimized each image for display on Apple devices.  The result -- AMAZING! 

While we humans visually interpret the world around us (and more importantly - - color) from reflected light captured by our eyes; electronic displays emit color.  Therein lies a challenge - - How do you provide an accurate visual representation of colored samples on an electronic display?  You can't trick physics - but our technology let's us have a little fun !

Let us know what you think!  Touch the "FEEDBACK" tab in the app and send us an email.  We value your comments!

ELEGANT

To navigate - simply touch and swipe. 

Full-screen blends are displayed at scale (CHIP size = 1/8" on an iPhone).  Share them easily via email and link to the CHIPS Design Center blog for tips and inspiration. 

Finally, "favorite" any blend to populate a volume of your own (containing up to 20 blends).  Simply touch the white star that appears in the upper-right-hand corner of the blend as it is displayed full-screen.  The star will turn yellow and the blend will be added to your "favorites".  "Favorites" appear below Volume 10.

EFFICIENT

Blends are organized by color (10 volumes | 20 blends in each volume).  Just like our FAN DECK . . .  Selection is simple.
