I would like to introduce you to my latest brilliant discovery, Poladroid. I realize that there’s a good chance that some of you may have beaten me to this gem, however I must let the rest of you know how awesome this program is. Here are a few reasons why I {heart} Poladroid:

#one- IT’S FREE!!! (aka not 1 George Washington everytime you push the magic button)

#two- It is SUPER easy to use. Seriously you just drag and drop any of your jpeg’s onto the little
camera and it spits out a polaroid.

#three- you actually have to wait as the picture develops. (you can grab it and “shake it”, but that’s never really worked in real life despite what Outkast has told you)

#four- after you’ve done 10 images, you are done and you have to restart the program- just like the good old days when you had to take the huge metal case out of the camera and throw it away, but this time there’s no waste (somewhere Al Gore is grinning from ear to ear right now)

Now I will be the first to admit that it’s not the same as having the real thing in your hands, but it’s close enough for you to fall in love with. I’ve been playing around with it (a lot) for a few days. I haven’t printed anything yet, but it exportss a fairly decent hi-res file, so it probably looks pretty good printed out. I should also point out that it’s only available for Mac currently, but I’m pretty sure a PC version is in the works.

Needless to say, you should go to the website and download your copy NOW!

My black/white business card design turned out kind of cool
