App of the week: Juxtaposer
Want to add a little unique flair to your Instagram photos? Have friends double take at your shots with a little work using Juxtaposer. The app first caught my attention after TheNextWeb shared a detailed look at the #instababs craze started by DJ Babu (instagram name: djbabuforeal) along with some info on which apps can be used to create this technique.
The process can be timely, but with a mix and mash of tools, you can create some very interesting results. The above photo was pulled together while on a trip to Miami using four different photos composited with Diptic and layering in extra birds using Juxtaposer.
Although some Instagram purists dislike the use of outside tools, I’ve always enjoyed seeing how far users can take the platform beyond tilt-shift and the preset filters. What apps do you use to edit your Instagram photos?

I’m having way too much fun with this.
A quote from Scott Belsky’s Making Ideas Happen, a must read for anyone who has ever struggled with what Scott calls the ‘project plateau’ as ideas shift from bright shiny and new to more and more check boxes on the to-do list. This is one of a handful of highlights I go back to when pushing through creative projects and this book, along with a lot of the fantastic writing and content at Scott’s the99percent.com often seem to help me re-energize and get back on track. What motivates you to be passionate about your work? What writing, sites, books, or strategies have you used and developed to make great ideas happen?

A quote from Bobby Hundreds, cofounder of The Hundreds clothing line, on Instagram; mocked by M Booth alongside a recent photo he posted to the tune of 1054 likes.
The above comes from a response to a Tumblr question about social media and his brand, in which Bobby lays out simply why these networks are so important to The Hundreds and who they are: ”All of these social networks and platforms are about Storytelling - whether telling your story or that of others, observed.”
True words from someone who has seen the value of social and lifestyle storytelling since the inception of his brand. Be sure to check out Bobby on Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter and the original: his blog which also just happens to be the clothing company’s landing page.
