Popular image based apps and design programs including: Instagram, Photo Booth, iPhoto, Camera Plus, Hipstamatic and even lesser-known apps such as KRINK and Color Schemer have all empowered aspiring photographers and designers to enhance there amateur work through the use of an apps professionally rendered filters and graphic applications. Much like the World Wide Web these applications, largely consumed through mobile devices, have made our already shrinking world that much smaller. 24 hours a day creativity is at our fingertips and at the click of a button we can share our creativity with our curated list of followers and those we follow.
