Mobile Orchard

In this post, we’re going to cover the top 4 iPhone apps for designers. The following list represents the apps that are most useful for getting actual work done:

1. Fontshuffle

It contains hundreds of font families sorted by visual similarity into a visual family tree. Without any previous knowledge about typography, and using only visual criteria, you can navigate directly to 6 font designs of similar style by tapping your iPhone twice. You can do this without knowing the name or style category of the desired font, but can learn these by playing around with the application. FontShuffle 1.0 is free of charge and available in English and German language versions.

2. cliqcliq Colors

If you’re a designer or developer working with CSS, HTML, Flex, Flash, Objective-C or other media-centric technologies, you’ll spend a good amount of time finding the exact colors you want to use and converting between various scales and formats. With cliqcliq Colors, you can create palettes based on colors you like best and quickly convert between RGB, HSB, and CMYK as well as integer and floating point scales. Instead of having to load an entire desktop application or yet another browser tab with a color version website, you can simply pick up your iPhone and get started with Colors!

3. Palettes Pro

Palettes Pro is a powerful productivity tool for creating and maintaining color palettes. Great for creating color schemes. Now you can create a color palette anywhere at anytime. Quickly find matching colors with support for many different color schemes. You may create and store any number of palettes.

4. The Typography Manual

The Typography Manual is a pocket resource for graphic designers and anyone that works with type. It provides all the essentials of a book reference on your iPhone or iPod Touch! The Type Manual features a 60+ page book covering the history of type, type basics, how to properly set text and special characters, typography on the web, graphic design topics, and more. The Visual Type Anatomy Glossary is a 100+ glossary of type terminology that doesn’t just give you a definition, it shows you on the letters themselves.
