He creative folks, are you also creating a lot of content, cool pictures, renderings, artwork, posters and more… don’t you ever lose something?

We use picassa because it’s so much easier and better then using windows to go thru all your files, and waiting for previews to load. The free software automaticly adds new work to your library, it just works. If you have a lot of artwork & pictures, you should give it a try.

Picassa allows you to do a couple of things very easily:

- create albums, label your work (each project as one album)
- manage artwork (rotate, scale, photo effects etc.)
- view artwork in slide shows (show to client or friends)
- share your artwork (to your weblog, to friends or even clients)

Check it out:

Example of how to use picasa to make simple artwork collage:

Search for your artwork, use tags, or select an album:

 

Select a number of pictures or artwork, and press the collage button:

 

The result of 1 minute work, is a ready to present piece of work, to a client or just for fun with friends:

It’s very easy to make these visualizations, browse and organise your artwork, pictures and videos, and the user interface is not that bad. 

The time line function is nice but could do with some graphic improvements.

Another tool to make your design life easier.
