Spruce up your phone’s photo library with this easy-to-use design app.

By Darice Chavira

Studio Design is a savvy, easy-to-use application for both the natural-born designer, or the Instagram junkie. With over 500 shapes, crops and fonts, Studio Design transforms simple photographs into works of art. The app allows users to create their own personalized profile, forming an artistic community where both highly-skilled and amateur designers can share and interact with one another. Phrases, such as “Live Well” and “Like a Boss,” can be added to photos with a variety of colors, fonts and styles. Also included are ten eye-catching filters that bring ordinary photos to life in the boldest way. Once a design is complete, the app allows users to easily export their work to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Email and the phone’s camera roll.

Studio Design is easy on the eyes, and on your wallet — the app in its basic form is completely free. Users have the option to purchase over 450 additional elements, if they choose. Studio Design is compatible with iPhone, iPod, iTouch and iPad, and it requires iOS 6.0 or later.

Studio Design is fun, easy to use and inspiring. Start designing and unleash your inner creativity!
