Co.Design | business + design: With Paper, we saw what could happen when smart design honed the iPad as a creative tool for drawing. And now with Storehouse, launching today (free), we’re getting a first taste of what the iPad can do when the same care is given to rich storytelling.

I really like the approach they have taken to the project of making it feel like you're working on paper or arranging photos on your desk. I also like the way they've decided to make it not make it skeuomorphic, which I feel can come across as kitschy. I think the ability to compose photos together and add poignant text to provide a sequenced progression is much more powerful than arbitrarily flipping through Facebook albums. It would be cool if this platform morphed with Facebook or a variety of other social media, because then it would be able to reach a larger audience. Is the program available on other platforms than the iPad?
Although it is a good point the author makes at the end of the article about the software needing a few things like search options, I think many people will still use it now for their own pleasures. It seems like the perfect place for a digital scrapbook or portfolio even. I wonder if once you input a story whether you can update it or if you can export it for printing.
I agree with Michael in saying that this is an awesome way to work in a manner that provides a simple way of making it seem like they're working on paper while working on the iPad. I think that this is an important way to integrate technology with old fashion methods that many people like. It seems like it could be a cool way to scrapbook and really perfect them with the assistance of technology. As an iPad user I personally love when an app comes out that makes a certain process more life like.
