Screen Saver Collection Brings Screen Saver Fun Back to the Mac - Published on 05/09/18
New York based independent development firm, Johansson Design today announces their collection of Screen Savers for Apple's Mac. The collection offers 15 assorted screen saving animations that are designed to be both practical and also serve as a form of self-expression. Designs include eye-catching clocks, color bars, stickers, sport logos, emoji, and many more. This collection brings back a long-neglected piece of the Mac experience to modern users.
New York, New York - Johansson Design today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of their collection of Screen Savers for macOS. The collection offers a wide variety of animated modern, pop-culture inspired screen savers that are both practical and a fun form of self-expression.
Screen Savers by Johansson Design offer a collection of 15 screen savers, each of which are uniquely designed to provide entertainment, the time of day, or just a pleasing screen-saving design. Designs include eye-catching clocks, color bars, stickers, sport logos, emoji, and many more.
"While screen savers have been a part of macOS since day one, they've been ignored by Apple and I think that's a mistake," says designer Bjorn Johansson. "I believe screen savers have a lot of untapped potential, and I like creating them because they serve as a unique outlet for both my design and coding skills. My screen savers can be used as a form of self-expression which communicates something about the users. Or they can simply be a fun way to set your Mac apart from all of the others, like stickers on a laptop."
Currently, there are 15 different screen savers available:
* MacClock - Features four "squared" recreations of Apple Watch faces
* Grid Systems - A clock inspired by the book, "Grid Systems in Graphic Design"
* Color Circle Clock - A rudimentary color circle turned into a stylish clock
* Points in Time - A digital clock featuring animated halftone digits
* SMPTE Color Bars - Simulates SMPTE color bars television test pattern
* EXIT - Turn your screen into a New York City Building Authority Exit Sign
* Mon Monogram - Features the iconic LV pattern.
* Supreme Monogram - Features the most hyped update to the LV pattern since Murakami.
* Red White Stickers - Barbara Kruger inspired stickers with custom text
* Long Ago Time - Star Wars inspired clock screen saver
* Emoji Matrix - Choose from 8 Emoji categories
* Teams of New York - Logos of all of the famous New York sports teams
* The SF Trilogy - A trilogy of screen savers based on Apple's San Francisco typeface
Bjorn Johansson thinks that if Apple ever does release their much-rumored TV, the screen saver will become a viable medium for artists to offer their works. While there are a few digital art screens currently available on the market, none of them are likely to ever reach mass market adoption, which is why screen savers are much better suited for bringing digital art into potentially millions of people's homes. To stay ahead of the curve in this hopefully burgeoning field, future screen savers by Bjorn will focus on artistic expressions.
"Johansson Design is probably the only company around actively designing and releasing screen savers for the Mac these days. I really hope my work will inspire both developers and artists to start creating more beautiful and interesting screen savers," shares Bjorn.
The Screen Savers collection is just the latest project for Johansson Design. Previous projects include the BIG-ASS MESSAGE website, which has been used to create over 25 million messages so far. The "Him" website is based on the movie "Her," and is possibly the first website users can talk to. More information about those projects, and others, are available at the Johansson Design website.
Device Requirements:
* 10.9 Mavericks or higher (Some require 10.11 El Capitan or higher)
Pricing and Availability:
All of the Screen Savers by Johansson Design are free and are available worldwide exclusively through the Johansson Design website. While all of the screen savers are free to download, users can pay any amount they like if they're feeling generous.

WaterField's New Professional Backpack is Ready to Hit the Boardroom - Published on 05/09/18
As professionals increasingly trade stuffy briefcases for comfortable backpacks, WaterField announces the business-ready Pro Backpack made from rugged ballistic nylon and sumptuous leather for a sophisticated look. Designed collaboratively with customers, the feature-rich Pro Backpack sports a plush MacBook Pro compartment, thoughtfully-placed pockets to maximize convenience, and an optional, removable Executive Folio to carry a laptop and other essentials when dashing off to meetings.
San Francisco, California - WaterField Designs, an innovative leader in Apple laptop sleeves, bags, and cases for tech gear, announces the Pro Backpack, designed in collaboration with customers to address the style and functionality needs of modern executives. A sumptuous, full-grain leather panel adorns the streamlined, black ballistic luxury backpack, lending it a refined look suitable in even the most professional environments. Ergonomic straps ensure comfort and abundant pockets keep work items easily accessible and organized. An optional, removable Executive Folio for a MacBook Pro, pen, files and other small accessories combines convenience and elegance for carrying these essentials to meetings.
"When we set out to design the Pro Backpack with customers, they told us they wanted something highly functional to support them throughout their day, while looking sharp enough for the C-suite," explained company owner Gary Waterfield. "They wanted a lightweight bag that stands upright for easy access to their entire mobile office during meetings and provides carrying options for the train, the office, and airports. The Pro Backpack does all this and more."
Pro Backpack Business- and Commute-friendly Features:
* Suit-worthy design: premium, full-grain leather accent panel in four color choices, a robust ballistic nylon base, and waterproof YKK zippers; streamlined shape and clean lines mask the bag's large capacity; sweat-mesh lining on the padded straps and backside keeps work clothes fresh, even after a long day.
* Multiple carry options: ergonomic straps for carrying backpack-style on the commute, a leather top handle to carry briefcase-style at the office, and a wheeled suitcase pass-through for easing through airports. For a streamlined look, backpack straps can be stashed in the suitcase-handle pass-through.
* Dual main compartments: one area boasts a suspended, protective laptop compartment to fit up to a 15-inch MacBook Pro and a pocket for files or a tablet, and another capacious chamber holds anything from technical gear to an after-work change of clothes.
* Strategically-placed, multi-functional pockets: a top pocket for iPhone and other sensitive items " quickly accessible to the wearer, but out of reach from fellow commuters; a discreet pocket beneath the leather panel designed for convenient access by swinging the bag off one shoulder; two side compartments " with internal pockets and a key fob " to hold tech, personal necessities, and a water bottle or umbrella.
* Optional Executive Folio: black ballistic nylon and premium leather to match the Pro Backpack; lightly-padded internal laptop compartment with pen slots and a softly-lined iPhone pocket on one side; a document pocket on the facing side; exterior zippered pocket for small or flat items; in two sizes for 13- and 15-inch Macbook Pros; TSA friendly.
The Pro Backpack is designed to anticipate professionals' needs throughout the workday while promoting comfort and projecting elegance. The bag joins WaterField's Staad Laptop Backpack and Bolt Backpack to form the WaterField professional backpack collection. The Pro Backpack's first production run sold out within an hour of an early offering to customer design participants, affirming that the product reflected their preferences. WaterField Designs' practice of working with interested customers to crowd-source product designs has resulted in gear that addresses genuine needs. Past collaborations include a collection of cases for the Nintendo Switch and the popular Air Porter Carry-on for travelers.
