have you ever wondered what program apple uses to make all of it's fancy smancy graphs on it's web pages? is that just from a graphics program do you think, or is it from a spreadsheet program? i was just poking around apple.com today and started thinking more and more about how keynote was used at the keynotes for quite a while but no-one picked up on it... could they be doing the same thing here, or am i just desperate for a rumor between all of these power book guesses?

you can achieve all the stuff on the apple site in photoshop with a plugin or two (the glass one from AlienSkin will do all kinds of cool stuff), or even illustrator in the right pair of hands
 
I always liked the Apple graphs, especially the new ones. They are just so typical Apple.

But I don't know what they use to make them. 🙁
 
They've found yet another application of the "Aqua" theme that just looks sooo good!

Maybe that's how they do it, a subset of they've interface builder developer system??

You don't even need a plug-in to achieve the 'Aqua' look... when I used to teach Multimedia, the 'Aqua' look was the most requested "How can we do that??" question....

I spent so much time explaining to people why they shouldn't rip it off just for styles sake... suffice to say, come the end of a project 2/3 of all the projects handed in would use some kind of 'Aquafied' graphics in their work... 🙄 😛 😛

lil to lazy to link, but try any of the G5 pages...

i know you could do stuff with that in photoshop, but it just kinda struck me as i was looking at one of them (not only, man, those look ten times better than excel) i thought about how keynote was used before our eyes for some time without us ever noticing...

*sigh*

and yes, i am desperate.

you ever use excel?

if it wasn't a ps job, then there's usually a table associated with said graph...

i remember something about apple and filemaker. does filemaker mak graphs? if not, they probably are using thier own app that they're keeping from us again😉
omnigraffle?
 
They also use a secret Apple corporate only program to both design their new products and a lotto system to randomly generate a release date for a certain product. That's why we don't have new PowerBooks, because Steve picked a date that is for sometime in the late future. Damn, how the lotto sucks!
 
i think we should have a cheese fest every other month. it gives me a chance to suck the helium out of balloons!😛

oops. wrong window. i think we should have a new apple release every other month so i can suck the helium out of balloons!😛
 
Shhh! It's the spreadsheet component of Apple's upcoming MS Office killer - iOffice.





Just kidding, I think it's a photoshop job. They took a real graph, aquified the bars, and put in a G5-looking background.
