Virtualbox.org

Kevin Moran — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 17:18:53 +0000

Virtualbox is a Free Open Source alternative to Parallels Desktop.

Ideal for a web designer on a budget who would like to install Windows browsers on their intel mac.

I have 3 different Windows Xp virtual machines running IE6, IE7 & IE8 for cross browser testing of my websites and it has been working flawlessly for over 12 months.

Pixus : The Pixel Ruler

Kevin Moran — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 10:51:52 +0000

This Adobe Air App allows you to measure the size in pixels of anything on your screen, very handy for measuring whitespace gaps on a webpage to trackk down errant css, or for measuring img sizes or the size of an area on the page so you know what size image is required.

For any designer this is a great timesaver, I use this constantly. Oh and did I say it’s completely FREE.

What the Font!

Kevin Moran — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 08:43:47 +0000

This great resource allows you to upload an image to the website then tries to match the font. A truly great time saver for any designer who has spent hours trawling through cd font libraries trying to match a client’s font.

Now also available as an iPhone application which allows you to match fonts from a photo.
