Grant Robinson’s thoughts and findings on design, games and digitalia
Over the past few months I’ve been plugging away at a new project of mine called Make it Share it. It’s a website that lets you easily make a drawing or animation and put it up your own website, blog or profile page.
I’ve worked on a few personal and client projects in the past that have involved drawing tools. They’ve all been really fun to work on and especially fun see what others create with them. I also noticed that although there’s a few drawing tools out there I couldn’t find any that let you create cell-based animations in such a simple way.
One of the things I’ve aimed for with the site is to have as low a barrier to entry as possible. This extends to the drawing tools, the sign-up process and the overall usability of the site. I’ve made it so new users to the site can just dive it and create an animation or drawing and save to the site without having to sign up. After they’ve saved their creation they can decide to sign up or not.
So why not check out the site for yourself. I hope you have as much fun with it as I have had making it.

Hey, I’m trying to see your Guess-the-Google, Share it and Montage-a-Google sites – I think they are great and I’ve known about them for years now. (Well, not the Share it one). Anyway, sorry for the rant, but I’d love to show them to someone – are you planning on putting them back up or has someone made you an offer? I think they are great either way.
Thanks,
Gen

I’m having some problems with my hosting provider which means some of my projects have stopped working for the time being. Am very busy with other stuff at the mo but will be trying to get them back online soon.

Hi. That’s a really awesome website! I would love if I could upload voice overs or music. It has great functionality already. I would rather use it than download software that usually doesn’t work anyways. I’ve been looking everywhere for a site like this and this has got to be the only one i know of.

Hi Grant, i found your website searching for drawing tools and really like the way you realized them.
I have the biggest tattoo fan page on facebook and thought i should offer my fans (450k fans) a nice tool for drawing tattoo stencils, starting an online tattoo career etc.
I have made some notes on it and may be you are interested in helping me? I could pay you probably. Let me know what you think and i can send you my specifications.
Here is m blog, but that is about the limit of my “coding” skill
