Sharing the Love: Tech and Design Come Together as Gift to City
Louisville, KY (PRWEB) February 13, 2014 -- Louisville creative firm, Forest Giant, has teamed up with the minds behind the App Store sensation Over, to create Louisville Love, a unique tool for Louisville's mobile creatives. Louisville Love is a free app for iPod/iPhone that easily allows users to add unique, hand-crafted art to their favorite photos of Louisville landmarks and hotspots, while promoting city love and sharing the Louisville experience.
"We're hoping that this app, in some ways, encourages people to think about their surroundings more," explains Forest Giant's Creative Director, Jon Shaw. "It will have a big impact on people; just being aware of how awesome this city is."
Additional facts about Louisville Love:
Users are encouraged to use the hashtag #louisvillelove and follow @LouLoveApp on Instagram; to help track the Louisville Love app conversation and to earn a chance to be showcased by app creators.
Louisville Love features 60+ hand-designed pieces of art from the designers at Forest Giant, including custom typography for Nulu, Germantown, The Highlands, and UofL.
Louisville Love is the second of the "Love" series inspired by Over; the first being "Cape Town Love".
In addition to text over photos, Louisville Love hopes to raise public awareness for City Collaborative, the new Louisville-based non-profit that aims to generate big, positive transformations throughout the community by way of many small, actionable events and solutions. Louisville Love was made possible by Louisville Downtown Partnership and Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau, and with creative contributions from Kertis Creative.
As simple as selecting a photo and placing artwork, Louisville Love is a fun way to transform your photo from a day out at Cherokee Park or an evening at the Bats' game into a unique piece of art that you can share to Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, or more, all through the app, available for free on the iOS App Store on Valentine's Day, 2014.
