<p>Here is what Synthetic Corp says about the SwankoLab App:</p>
<h2>It’s the darkroom, only less messy and less dark</h2>
<div>
<p>Complete with smells of photo chemistry and sounds of mad science  being made, your SwankoLab comes with everything you need to turn any  image into a retro misprinted masterpiece.</p>
</div>
<h2>Relive the nostolgia of processing by hand</h2>
<p>Agitate your print as it develops, and watch it slowly fade in under the warm glow of the safe light. Hang your print to dry while your examine the results of your latest experiment. You can even jot down your favorite chemical formulas in the included formula notebook.</p>
<h2>Fully stocked with chemicals and photo supplies</h2>
<div>
<p>SwankoLab includes eight magical photo-altering chemicals, a  formula book, an embossed development tray, and a super cool  hand-engraved box to store your photo supplies and prints in.</p>
<h2>Here are some sample images of what you could come up with:</h2>

<div>
<h5>Tell us a little bit about yourself.</h5>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote><p>I have a lot more experience in Art than in Design. First I am an artist and the Design is more an experiment than is a passion. My experience in Design constitutes in seven to eight years of computer work.</p></blockquote>
</div>
<h5>Are you self taught or did you go to school?</h5>
<div>
<blockquote><p>Art Institute of Timisoara graduated, where I did five years of painting which is still my passion and I can declare myself more of an expert than in the Design area. I consider Design as being a rank in Art and this would make it easier for me to have realistic opinions about a good done job or a poorly done one. This would not be possible without a long term of studies.</p></blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<h5>How long have you been designing logos?</h5>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote><p>I start designing logos 3-4 years ago.</p></blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<h5>Where do you get your inspirations from?</h5>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote><p>From everywhere, but first of all i like to invent things.</p></blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<h5>What tools and programs do you use to create logos?</h5>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote><p>I work in illustrator and corel from my logos.</p></blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<h5>What is usually your design process?</h5>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote><p>I start working directly on the computer, i make sketches very rarely. I always try to make something versatile for looking good on monocolors , flat colors, b&amp;w , and ofcourse in 3d style. I try to fit at the client brief, but manytimes i just want to make something good and profesional without caring about the clients taste. I want to do something logical , something who can be changed very quickly in terms of colours and gradients.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;HYPE is a creative coding framework built on top of ActionScript 3. A major goal of HYPE is to allow newcomers to Flash and ActionScript to creatively play and express themselves while they are learning how to program.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;To get started, the user needs only the most basic knowledge of programming – variables, conditionals, loops, and functions, for example.</p>
<p>As the user learns more about programming they can extend HYPE and thus grow their skills, while at the same time inspiring the next generation.</p>
<p>Now, that&#8217;s not to say HYPE is just for people who are new to programming. Instead, HYPE is for anyone, regardless of skill, who wants to play with code. Fundamentally, the point of HYPE is to make Flash fun again. We made HYPE to help bring back the playfulness that once defined our community.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Branden Hall &amp; Joshua Davis</p>
<p>You can check out the HYPE Framework <a href="http://hype.joshuadavis.com/" target="_blank">here</a> for more information.</p>
