During Annching Wang’s fourth year of fashion design school at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Richmond, British Columbia, she enrolled in a fashion trend forecasting class. She enjoyed the course, but was annoyed that all the classwork was only accessible from a specific university lab computer. In this class, she was working with large comprehensive reports that consisted of images, texts and other content. Annching needed a way to access her project on her own time, instead of being tied to the computer lab.
Enter Evernote
After a bit of research, Annching discovered, and quickly became obsessed with, Evernote. It allowed her to collect everything she needed for her projects into a single, always accessible place. Also, the process was significantly faster, more convenient and more visual—ideal for a creative individual. Evernote ended up simplifying the entire workflow. Read entire post

7 Ways a professional photographer uses Evernote
Evernote is a great tool to keep all the aspects of my photography business running smoothly. I put it to use for my day-to-day business operations, and to keep me organized when I’m out and about on-location for shoots. Having Evernote synced across my desktop, laptop, iPad, and iPhone keeps everything I need in order. Read entire post
Whiteboard sessions are meant to be collaborative, so it feels counterproductive when the team spends as much time feverishly recreating the whiteboard sketches in their notebooks as participating in discussions. Evernote is here to help. We caught up with Michael Galpert, founder of the amazing Aviary.com, (think Adobe Creative Suite, but entirely online and free) who explained how his company uses Evernote to keep ideas from disappearing.
What they do
The Aviary team uses Evernote as a key part of their whiteboard/brainstorming process. They sketch everything out, then take a snapshot with Evernote. As Michael points out, there was always a fear that important ideas might get erased and lost, but now with Evernote they have an easy way to capture it all forever.
As an added bonus, Evernote’s image recognition technology processes all of those snapshots and makes the handwritten text searchable, so it’s easy to find all of those great ideas.

Evernote for BlackBerry now has a native note browser, which means better layout, easier navigation and faster loading. Read entire post
