Both Tiny Planets and Mirrorgram are basically a couple of steps in Photoshop except all done on the phone, and with an odd little instant gratification – no sitting in a room by myself tweaking pics, I can show ‘em off to whoever’s around!

At any rate, I discovered that sometimes, even the simplest little tools – that most designers pro’lly scoff at – can produce some really cool effects – I’m particularly proud of the “skull,” above, that started out as quick snap of the snow covering the courtyard bench outside my building. A little twirling, and mirroring, and suddenly it was smiling right at me!
