RocketLife Wins the Computer Times Editor’s Choice Award!

March 31, 2008

CT Editors Choice AwardBack in January, RocketLife took home the DIMA Innovative Product Award during the PMA show.  And now, RocketLife has another award to add to the shelf - the Computer Times Editors’ Choice Award!

The Computer Times’ editors had lots to say about RocketLife:

RocketLife is a fast and easy way to create unique, personalized products that will impress your friends and family. A gorgeous photo book that you designed yourself would be a great Christmas present for your parents, or a puzzle for your youngsters, a collage poster of your rocker sweetheart’s debut on stage, or a mug with your favorite gorgeous celebrity for you to drink out of every morning. With so many ways to make these products your own, Rocket Life is a must for creative people who like to have control over every aspect of their creations.

We have to agree- there are tons of opportunities to create awesome, unique products with RocketLife!

The Rocket Engine Sidebar

March 27, 2008

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a big fan of time-savers and shortcuts.  Here are a few super useful (and fun!) shortcuts to help you in your creative RocketLife endeavors.

RL Sidebar

The Rocket Engine sidebar is kind of like a Swiss Army Knife - it’s a really useful, all-in-one kind of tool.  Here’s what each of the options does:

  1. Try Theme Variations - Want to see how your layout looks with a different variation of the theme you’ve selected?  Click the link to watch your super cool layout get a super cool new background.  Click as many times as you’d like - there are lots of options to choose from.
  2. Try Photo Rotations - This is one of my favorites because, in general, I like tilting my photos a bit.  Click this once or many times until you’re satisfied with the result.
  3. Try More Layouts - Want to see what your creation will look like with the photos re-arranged?  Click until you’re happy with the snazzy new layout!
  4. Lock Layout - Lock the layout so that you don’t inadvertently mess up your perfection (take it from someone who has done it before…).
  5. Remove Photo -  Select a photo, click the link and - viola! - the picture is gone.
  6. Remove Month - (Note, this one applies to Calendars) Don’t want to make a 12 Month Calendar? Click this to remove the current month.

Your New Best Friends - Undo & Redo

March 24, 2008

Nothing, absolutely nothing, could be worse than creating something awesome with RocketLife, only to re-size a photo or quickly try another layout and then realize that you really liked it better the other way.  Previously, there wasn’t a way to “undo” your last step.  Now, however, THERE IS!

Cheers! Applause! Confetti!

Meet Undo and his sister Redo:

Undo & Redo

With Undo & Redo, you can handily take a step backward and then a step forward at anytime during your creation process.  Pretty awesome, right?!
