• Pixton included in Suzanne Ginsburg's Latest Book

  August 27, 2010 Want to design a killer awesome iPhone app? Hot off the press is Suzanne Ginsburg's latest book, "Designing the iPhone User Experience: A User-Centered Approach to Sketching and Prototyping iPhone Apps". It will help you master the key concepts that you need to set your app apart from the crowd - a must-have book. Since its release this month, Ginsburg's book has received 5-star rave reviews and is a chart-topper in Amazon's bookstore!

  Pixton is honoured to be included her book! What is the Pixton comic about, you ask? We won't give away that little secret, buy the book to find out! :)

  Ginsburg's insights can also be applied to other devices beyond the iPhone, including the Android, iPad, and web apps - sounds too good to be true. Can't wait for our copy, should arrive any day now!

• Educational Comic Books Created by Students for Students!

  August 1, 2010

  
  Help us with this comic-creative STEM initiative!
  
  Pixton has teamed up with Robert Miller, a teacher of the 5th grade at Port Orange Elementary in Port Orange, FL, to win a 50K Pepsi Refresh grant for education. Robert was selected last year as an Apple Distinguished Educator and was recognized as one of "20 to Watch, 2009" by the National School Board Association.
  
  This grant will go towards an exciting and innovative idea - to create a student-run comic book publishing company to teach science with Pixton.
  
  We'd appreciate your support with a vote (or thirty) and believe that this idea could really catch on around the world - educational comic books created by students for students!
  
  Show your love and vote now!
